Sleeping it off?

Keegan, who is still sick went to bed last night at 7pm.....it is now 11:15 am and he is still sound asleep. I keep going in there every 15 minutes to check on him. Whatever he has, has really hit him hard and hopefully this 16 + hours of sleep will do him good and he is sleeping off all of his sickness.......

This little boy......

Has had a bad month :( He has been sick for a month now..... He started out with Roseola, he had a temp of 104 and when it finally broke his little tummy and back broke out in a rash. His temp continued on and off throughout the next couple weeks and along with that came spots on his body....he had all together about 15 throughout his whole body. Started out looking like pimples and then turned into scab looking things. On Friday he developed a cough and his temp spiked back up that night. I told Chris I thought he had the Croup. On Saturday afternoon his temp was at 102, so I decided to take him to Urgent Care at the clinic. Bad idea. I always walk out of there with no answers.... They told me it was probably just viral...go figure. I worked Saturday night and on Sunday morning when I come home Chris said he was up all night coughing. Gave him some meds and just let him be lazy all day. Keegan and I fell asleep on the couch late afternoon, and when I woke up, Keegan was on fire..... his temp was 103, I came upstairs to get him some meds and Chris started yelling at me to come and check out Keegan, he was having a really hard time breathing....kind of struggling actually. The look on Chris and Rileys face made me panic. Chris was so worried and Riley was crying because he thought his little brother was going to die.... I threw him in the car and off the the E.R. we went. Sure enough, just like I diagnosed....THE CROUP and possible chicken pox. The gave him some steroids to open up his throat and airway to help him breath and monitored him for about an hour. He came home and he went right to bed....I came home from work on Monday morning and went to get Keegan and his was as white as a ghost and freezing cold, I am not sure what that was about but it sure scared me.....and now this morning, temp of 102. He is napping at the moment, but I am praying that he gets better soon. I disinfected the whole house today! Hoping it works. My poor baby.

Halloween pictures

Just a few pictures of A. Peterson and the little bear!! It started out nice, but towards the end Riley was begging me to go home, his hands were ice cold......

Pumpkins!!

A couple days before Halloween we carved pumpkins!! It was fun, minus Keegan crying the whole time!! He tried eating the pumpkins, so we finally gave him a popsicle...that seemed to work great!! Riley had fun and won the award for 'best pumpkin!!"

18 months!

Keegan had his 18 month check up today!! So glad to hear that he is all done with shots until his is in Kindergarten!! YAY.......
He did really well and of course Dr. Knudson says he is "Perfect" with quit the sense of humor!! He has labeled him as "Right brained" we were talking about his vocabulary. Keegan can say about 15 words.

1. Daddy
2. Hi
3. Uh-oh
4. Brother
5. Riley
6. Mama
7. Grandpa (Bapo)
8. Night, night
9. No, no
10. Whats that
11. Love you
12. Makes puppy noises all the time, even though he is deathly afraid of dogs!
13. Tree
14. Brrrrrrrrr.............

But he only uses Hi, Uh-oh and Daddy consistently. Dr. K said that children that are 'Right Brained' say a bunch of words but do not use them, that he is taking everything in and around age 2 to 2 1/2 they generally start just using sentences. He also said that 'Right Brained' people usually are very humorous and comical (Which I have been saying for the last 6 months) they are very artistic and they love music and love to dance!! All signs point to Keegan with what he described!! I would definitely say Riley would be 'Left Brained' it is all actually really interesting to learn about!!

Weight: 26 pounds and 4 ounces- 60%
Height: 33 inches- 75% (We have our basketball player!)
Head: 19 1/4 inches- 80%

Go Raiders!!!

This week was homecoming!! Who doesn't love homecoming??? Riley had a blast dressing up this week, we didn't do Monday because Riley was sick last Thursday and Friday so we weren't sure what the day was....it was crazy hair day!! Tuesday was nerd day....I worried over that one, I just wasn't sure how to dress Riley as a nerd, since I am pretty hip and cool...but then I thought back to high school and I remembered what my sisters looked like every morning so then it was pretty easy. I went to grab my camera and wouldn't you know...it wasn't working. Go figure. Welcome to my world. Wednesday was PJ day, man do I love that day. It cuts 15 minutes off our time in the morning!! Thursday was class color day, of course the 2nd graders had to be WHITE....agh, I was pretty sure he wouldn't come home that color!! And today was Raider day, I went and got blue hair color for Riley's hair and black paint to paint #12 (Shawn Murhpy) and #7 (Jordan Rudenick) on his cheeks, I went to get a picture and guess what..my camera worked!! But now of course I cant get it to download. So there will be pictures shortly!!!

Saturday night fun!!

Saturday night I took the boys to McDonald's in St. Peter for supper and to play in play land!! We had a blast. I told Chris we need to do that once a month, the kids had so much fun!! We were there for a couple hours, an hour of that was Keegan eating!! :) I noticed that they had to be three to play, but I figured with Riley's help, Keegan would do fine!!! The first time going up Keegan had a lot of trouble and there was a line forming behind him, so Riley just pulled him!! HA, it was cute!! After that Keegan did just fine by himself. Riley made five friends in those two short hours!! As we were leaving all of them were high fiving each other and saying goodbye using first names!! Who knew you could have so much fun at McDonald's!?!?
