Best of May 2008
We took our first trip to the ER last week. Poor Joseph developed the croup and a fever over 104 degrees. The admissions technician sent us straight to the front of the line because of labored breathing and Josephs fire engine cheeks. As soon as we settled in the examination room, though, Joseph perked up and wanted to press all of the emergency alarm buttons and pull all the oxygen tubes. The doctor and nurses fixed him up quickly after hearing his pitiful cough. He's all better now and running around as much as ever. Now that he's recovered, I can share some of the better stories over the last couple of weeks:
1. Joseph dirties up his outfit for the day, so he runs around in his diaper. I start washing the dinner dishes. He takes off his diaper while I’m not paying attention. When he gets upset that I won’t pick him up, Joseph squats down and tinkles on my foot. While I’m rolling a wad of paper towels, be slips and falls in his own pee.
2. Heather and I are talking while Joseph climbs up and over the sofa. He starts digging between the cushions and handing objects to mommy and daddy—all things he had stuffed there earlier. Pen, coaster, appliance electricity meter and adjustable crescent wrench.
3. Joseph swigs some milk from a sippy cup.
“Do you like milk now, angel?” says Mommy.
“No. Nope.”
4. Joseph watches Sesame Street for the first time. He categorizes every muppet as either a monkey or a frog. Elmo is a frog.
Watch the rest…
