Sick Parker

This has been a very rough week (last 4 days). Parker got sick on Saturday night with croup again while we were at the beach. He then kept us up for 3 nights in a row with the bad coughing fits and fever. I took him to the doctor on Tuesday and there isn't much more that they could do for him. It just has to run it's course. Since Parker has been by my side all day and night, I am exhausted and was a bit crabby on Tuesday night. Last night, Parker started getting a rash on his face and it was spreading to his tummy and legs by bed time. This morning he woke up and had a fever again and was so red all over with bumps. Of course I called the doctor's office again and they to wait until Thursday to see if his fever was down. Well I called back this afternoon, since the rash was getting worse even with taking Bendrayl all night/day. They were able to see me right away and it was Hives. We think he is now allergic to pencillian. He was taking it for a clogged tear duct for the last 10 days. So now I feel so much better that we know what the rash is and hopefully we will soon have our normal happy son back.
This was a picture at a friend's birthday party a few weeks ago. I will post some beach pictures soon. Parker had so much fun at beach jumping the waves with Daddy.

Daddy's birthday

Parker wanted to make Daddy cupcakes for his birthday. I thought Parker was going to help me, but no way. So after dinner it was time to sing Happy Birthday and blow out the candle. Well Parker wanted to be right next to daddy and help. My two boys for now, until Caleb joins us in 4 months.

Parker wanted to add more candles on the cupcakes, so we did and he enjoyed blowing them out. Then of course licking the chocolate off the candles and then dipping his fork into the icing. When is my cake going to be made? Well I am making my favorite strawberry Birthday cake on Sunday, just in time for my parents to come and emjoy a few slices of the cake.

Circus

A few weeks ago we took Parker to see the circus in town. This was mine first time as well as Parker's. It was a long show and I was so uncomfortable sitting in the seats for over 2 hours. Parker seemed to like the animals the best and the clowns doing funny stuff. Parker running back towards our seats after visiting the pre-preformance show.

The elephants performing for us. Parker really liked seeing the animals. He didn't like all the performing stuff and I don't blame him. They did a lot of it.

Dinner at Davenport's Pizza Place before the circus. We all love to eat their pizza.
