Awesome

You know what’s awesome?

When your kid is sick and he coughs non-stop from 5am to 9am (no that’s not the awesome part).

So you contemplate if you should make an appointment with the doctor.

After another 15 minutes of non-stop coughing you make an appointment.

He coughs all the way to the doctor and the whole time in the waiting room.

Then the doctor comes in and he doesn’t cough once.

Not once.

And the doctor looks at you like you are crazy.

She says everything looks fine and probably notes in your chart that you could have munchausen syndrome.

And then you get the kid back in the car and he coughs the whole way home.

That’s awesome.

Happy Friday!

Sick

I’ve got a sick boy here.  Fever, cough, threw up once.  All fun stuff.  The problem is that while his fever ranges from 100 to 102 he acts like he feels fine most of the time.  Just more tired than normal.  I don’t want to take him out because I don’t want to get anyone else sick, but we got major cabin fever yesterday after watching Cars, Thomas, a few episodes of Wonder Pets, and only taking a 45 minute nap.  So, we went out for a little drive and picked up some Starbucks at the location with the drive thru.  So we wouldn’t infect anyone.  He spent most of his day like this though.

PS  Do you like my new artwork?  I love it!  Not only one of my favorite songs ever, but also our first dance song at our wedding.

A First

Chuck and I were born and raised in Anaheim.  We’ve had annual passes to Disneyland since we were kids.  We’ve probably both been hundreds of times.  We are spoiled rotten and go to Disneyland several times a month.  It’s one of the pros of living in Southern California along with 80 degree weather in February which most of the time outweighs the cons (EARTHQUAKES!, traffic, ridiculously high cost of living).  It’s just what we do when we are bored.  It’s so easy to go for a couple of hours, ride a few rides, grab dinner and head home.  Obviously B isn’t complaining!

While Chuck and I have pretty much done everything you can do at Disneyland, we both had a first this weekend.  We got to ride in the front car on the Monorail!  This was B’s first time too and he just loved it!  The weird and creepy kind people that were riding up front with us reminded us that you can’t do this at Disney World because “a whole bunch of people died on this thing”.  While that made me a little nervous the pure joy on Brayden’s face as he acted as our tour guide and pointed out the “cars”, “cups”, and several other things that I didn’t understand because I couldn’t make out his Branglish helped me forget about the dangers of the Monorail.  It’s such a little thing, but I’m glad we all got to experience this first together!  And in less than 2 weeks we will have a very short trip to Disney World!  I’m very excited to take Chuck because he has never been before.  Actually, he’s never even been to Florida before!  Should be fun!
