Happy Easter

Happy Easter to everyone!!!
This last week, we taught Bob how to say "Happy Easter" and he has been saying "Happy Easter" to practically everyone he meets - in stores, and people who walk by our apartment.

It has been a chaotic week. Bob has been sick. He had a "boo boo" in his ear. He had an ear infection. His fever topped 103.5 and was difficult to control, but it finally came down. He, unfortunately needed antibiotics. I did not want him on the same antibiotics he was on in December as it gave him diarrhea and he is allergic to several different antibiotics. He wound up with another cephalosporin - the same class he had in December - that does not cause the stomach upset. Unfortunately, it tastes awful, and we have to bribe Bob into taking it each time. The last time I squirted it in his mouth, and he spat it right back out at me. I had to bribe him with a strawberry. Of course I have not been able to get Bob to eat yogurt or drink yogurt drink (he is strong willed). I wound up buying a children's acidopholus supplement. It is orange flavored and has a picture of a bear on it. I told Bob it was Tangerine Bear, and he has taken two doses so far without a problem (Tangerine Bear has been his favorite movie as of late. We got the VHS tape of it at the 99 cent store and he has just about worn it out). Bob has only one episode of diarrhea, and that was Friday before I bought the acidopholus supplement. It seems to be working. I have also been pushing the yogurt drinks on him - I bought the Dannon three ounce size so he can have more than one a day - if I can get him to drink them.

Jim and I were talking about (eventually) having another child. We asked Bob if he would like to have a baby brother or a baby sister. His response was "No like it baby brother, no like it baby sister, get baby chocolate."

Bob had a blast coloring Easter eggs Saturday afternoon. The kit came with the coloring and stickers to put on the eggs. It was fun. Jim took pictures. He will post them as soon as he gets the chance (on www.thebobpics.shutterfly.com )

I have to get going. The Easter Bunny is here and I have to give him a hand with these Easter Eggs and and Easter basket and help get them ready for Bob. I hope you all have a happy and blessed day!!
