Poor guy

Since Bo has had such a bad cough and the meds didn’t work Dr. Kahn sent us home with a nebulizer.  Here is our routine 3 times a day…only takes about 15 minutes each time and he does really well with it, we usually just sit on the couch and watch tv.

Who Dat!!!

Another big part of this weekend was the Saints playoff game.  Being from MS the Saints are the closest professional football team that we have.  I have always been a Saints fan, I have many friends from La, and I also went to college an hour away from New Orleans so we spent many, many nights in that wonderful city.  One of my most memorable Saints moments was while I worked for Make A Wish, one of our little boys wished to go to a Saints game…the way they treated him was absolutely amazing so from then on they had my utmost respect.  Now, I must say that Jarrod, being from IN is a Colts fan, and if they were playing anyone but the Saints I would pull 110% for the Colts, but New Orleans needs and deserves a Super Bowl win…look at all that this team and city have been through.  So needless to say Super Bowl Sunday there will be a little tension in the Lawson household!

 

So what does every good parent of a toddler do when there is such an important play off game taking place…you take them to a sports bar til 10:30 at night.  YES, yes we did do this, but let me point out that he had taken a 4 hr nap that afternoon and it wasn’t a real bar…it was a restaurant/bar.  We had so much fun with my family and Bo did fabulous…we only had to pull out a train and his lovey right at the end.  He had a blast!

Choo Choo Bo turns 2!!

 

So I am finally able to post pictures from this weekend.  Bo and I have both been sick with cold/sinus stuff.  After 3 trips to the pediatrician, a steroid, round of antibiotics, and now a nebulizer I think we’ve got him taken care of.  I started antibiotics yesterday so I’m hoping we are both on the road to recovery.

 

One of the trips to his doctor included his regular 2 year checkup and this is what we found out…

• He’s 31 lbs (85th %)
• He’s 3’1 tall (95th%) She is estimating he will be somewhere in the 6’2-6’3 range as an adult, but said we can tell better at age 3.
• We need to start preparing for a big boy bed…not something mommy and daddy are looking forward to.
• Tantrums, ummm he’s 2…enough said!
• Everything looks great he’s a healthy, happy, ACTIVE 2 yr old.  The only concern is his lack of speech.  He still isn’t talking as much as we would like. This is causing him so much frustration as well as wearing me out.  It’s so hard not being able to communicate with him and know what he wants/needs. It is constant grunting and whining.  So for everyone’s sanity we are going to first schedule a hearing test.  We want to make sure he’s hearing correctly because that will obviously have a huge impact on his speech. Next, will be speech therapy.  I’m in the process of checking on insurance coverage, providers, etc… so hopefully we will get this ball rolling soon.

We had so much fun with friends and family celebrating his birthday party.  Thank you to all of you who made the trip in from out of town, it meant so much to have you all here.
