Up All Night

Wow! Last night was quite a night. I heard Greyson on the monitor around 12:30 a.m. gasping for air. Mike and I ran upstairs and he was still having a hard time breathing. It was really scary, so Mike and I decided we needed to call 911. A couple of minutes later we had an ambulance and a fire truck at our house (that's definitely a first and hopefully a last for us)! By the time they arrived, he had improved, but the response team suggested we take him to the ER to be evaluated. Well, after about 4 hours at Dell Children's Hospital, they concluded that it was the croup. Very weird since he hadn't had a fever, and had coughed only a couple of times. They gave him a dose of steroids and sent us on our way. He is doing fine, just a little cranky from lack of sleep last evening. I'm still not convinced 100% that it's the croup, but we will probably know more after this evening. Please keep him in your prayers!

Potty

This may be too much information for some, but I couldn't resist posting cause I am very excited for Grey and had to jot this down for my record keeping purposes! This morning while getting ready for school I was changing his wet diaper when he said poo poo. He has said this other times and not gone, and some times says it and goes. So, I asked him if he needed to go poo poo and he replied poo poo. So, then I thought I'd offer the potty to him, to which he responded potty. We then went downstairs and I asked him if he wanted to sit on his potty, which he did. A few minutes went by and he was just sitting there playing with one of his toys. So, I decided I would leave the bathroom and hang out in the living room to see what he would do. He immediately got up, closed the door, and sat back down. I then peeked in to check and see what was going on... He was just sitting on the potty, so I closed the door and walked away. Well, a few minutes later I heard him get up, so I went in there and he had gone #1 AND #2 in the potty!!!!!!!! I am so proud of him!!!! This is probably just a fluke, so we will see. Regardless, I am very proud of him. Yea Greyson!!!

Easter 2009

We had a wonderful Easter Sunday this year. Grandmother came into town and Greyson had a great time Easter egg hunting. It was raining on Sunday morning so we hunted eggs inside. The weather cleared up just in time for us to go to brunch at Sagra, which was great! Since the restaurant is so close to the state capitol we decided to go to the grounds and let Greyson run around. He had a grand time chasing all of the squirrels and birds! Later Sunday afternoon we took Greyson over to Brody's to hunt more eggs outside. This was the first time we have given him candy, and boy does he like it! He learned the word M&M in a matter of seconds!!! He didn't really care about putting the eggs in his basket, but asked us to open every egg he found. Luckily we didn't put candy in every egg!
