All Crouped Up

Last night Christopher got a very bad barking cough and was wheezing. After listening to him cough a couple more times, we decided to take him to the ER. We were there for 4 hours, however luckily Christopher slept through most of it. When we got to see a doctor, it was determined that he has Croup. He was given a steroid while we were there, and he has one more dose he needs to take tomorrow night. Hopefully he will be better soon and his cough should go away in a couple weeks.

Marshmallows

Christopher was very excited about eating some marshmallows. He doesn't get to eat very many sweet things and marshmallows are something he really likes. This time he got to eat some of the BIG ones!! Then we decided to roast the marshmallows. Christopher was very interested in watching Mama roast them, but he didn't want to do it himself. He would watch Mama and shout "COOK". Although Christopher didn't want to eat the roasted marshmallows, he had a lot of fun watching them cook.

Hair Cut Time

Christopher's hair was getting WAY too long. He kept trying to rub the hair out of his eyes, and it was getting harder and harder to comb. There were too many tangles. So we decided that it was time for him to get a hair cut. Only one problem: Christopher HATES hair cuts.

This time I took him to a place called Kid's Jungle Cuts. He walked in and started fussing until he saw the cars he could play with. He picked out one of the cars and then he was placed in the chair. It was a pretty cool chair. It looked like a miniature version of a real saloon chair. He was buckled in and then had a small smock placed on him. As soon as he heard the clippers he started crying. He didn't the noise they made. After the clippers, another one of employees started blowing bubbles for Christopher. That helped him relax a little. He did pretty good, but there was a lot of tears. I will defiantly take Christopher back to this place for his next hair cut!

Even though he was squirming a lot and screaming the whole time, he did end up with a cool hair cut.

Out On The Deck

The weather has been really nice lately, so we have been spending a lot of time outside. Christopher usually plays on the front porch, but yesterday we went out on the back deck. Christopher was very shocked to see this new part of his world. He was very excited to walk all over and listen to the different noises the deck was making. He then spent the next two hours throwing balls all over the deck and watching them roll off. He had a great time! I hope this nice weather lasts a while. Christopher really loves to play outside!
