Poor little thing broke her arm today at school. She did it before lunch, but Momma only decided to take her to the doc based on her gut feeling. She was dancing around, playing, and just having a great time at school and at home. Good thing she decided to take her. The break is a buckle break in her radius.
That’s right, the local fair has setup in town! Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to go and get my donut burger yet, but the kids are visiting right now! They are at the petting zoo. I hope to post some more cute pics soon.
I also hope to go and get my donut burger!!!!
This is a story that I share, but fortunately it wasn’t spoken from my children’s mouths. This story comes from a child that my wife used to care for in childcare, 8 years ago. This child would sing a funny song. Every now and then I still dance in the house and sing this song out loud.
The song goes:
There’s a skeeter on my peter
Get it off
There’s a skeeter on my peter
Get it off, Get it off
Enjoy and tell me that doesn’t get stuck in your head.
All the kids have done great at the dentist, but I’ve always been impressed at little Crouton getting his teeth cleaned so sweetly.

It’s a common occurrence for me to utilize FaceTime to have face to face conversations with my kids when I’m working late. Recently, as some of you may have seen from my Facebook/Google+ posts, my little boy has been missing me due to my long hours at work. Well, last night my FaceTime call with him really got to me, so I wanted to share it with everyone. Read More
Some people ask me why I would want another baby, and to tell you the truth it’s because I have baby fever. I love snuggling with babies, and growing along with them. This video is not making my baby fever any less.
For those of you that might care or have been following me on twitter … My little boy (nicknamed) Crouton, had quite the fever scare this week. Let me go into more detail about what occurred the other night, then I’ll give an update of where we stand.
Tuesday afternoon at 4PM, Crouton threw up. It was projectile vomiting. It was nasty, but after he threw up … He acting perfectly fine. Therefore, I thought he just choked.
Wednesday morning at 2AM, Crouton woke us up telling us something hurt. Afterwards, he through up again, but then acting like nothing was wrong.
Wednesday afternoon when we woke up from his daily nap, he seemed to have a small fever. We gave him medicine, and consulted the doctor. The doctor asked us to come in for an after hours visit to make sure he didn’t have the flu.
When we got there he didn’t have a fever, because he had 1 tbsp of Motrin. In the waiting room he started shaking while he was playing with the toys. By the time we got into the room to see the doctor, he was shaking more and more. When the doctor came in, he started acting lethargic and delusional. We told the doc that, and he said that’s a sign his fever is about to spike. They took his temp rectally (poor little man), and it was 104.5. At that point he was just falling asleep on us, and started hallucinating, and shaking more. They pumped meds in him, and we wrapped him in wet towels.
It was a very frightening experience. All tests came back negative: Strep, Flu, etc. Because his temperature rose so high … They decided to do a blood culture with this advice:
“Go home, there’s not much we can do. Keep him full of Tylenol, Motrin, and fluids. He’s going to have to fight it off himself. If he has trouble breathing, then he has RSV… Take him to the ER. Good luck, and we’ll call you in the morning.”
We went home. As of this morning … He seems like his normal self. We never found out what was wrong. We are just praying that it’s not an indication of something to return.
Thanks for everyone’s wishes, prayers, and thoughts!
As a good friend put it: “Kids are extremely resilient, and bounce back well.”
Niki: What hurts??
Crouton: Me!
