Week in Review
Well we are home now from our trip. It was a great week, and I enjoyed getting away from the normal day to day routine. Reese is still getting better, but he is greatly improved! The boys had a blast and it was fun to watch them on the beach. The first time Brooks went, he was concerned about getting the sand on him. Reese is the same age now, that Brooks was then. So, I thought it would be about the same. Oh no... Reese goes running on the beach and ends up throwing the sand all over himself. He would have run straight into the ocean if we had let him! NO FEAR!
So, I will start back to work tomorrow and only have the memories of our time on the beach.

Potty break
(Leah, you will probably appreciate this post.)
Brooks, Dad, and I were down at the beach today and Brooks said he had to go to the bathroom. I told him he would just have to go do it in the ocean. He looked at me funny. He hasn't had too many chances to go tee-tee outside in his lifetime. (Maybe he has been to sheltered.) Anyway, so dad walked with him down to the water. I looked up and saw Brooks in the process of pulling down his bathing suit!!! Note to self: Explain fully each step in how to go potty in the ocean, including the phrase "Do not pull your pants down."
Reese has progressed to the productive cough now, which is better in terms of what stage he is in this sickness, but he is still pitiful. His eyes get real red underneath them when he gets sick, so he really looks bad right now. He is slowly making the turn toward getting better. Thanks for all your sweet comments!

No break
I wish I had some great post of how relaxing it is down here in Gulf Shores. Instead, I will give a brief synopsis of today:
Woke up at 5 to Reese barking like a seal.
Wrapped him up and went out on the balcony. (The sunrise was quite pretty though.)
Mom and I Found a urgent care place in Gulf Shores.
Got there and it was closed!!!
Drove north to Foley.
Found a walk in place there.
Got a prescription for a steriod.
Came back for naps.
Mom and Dad were awesome to listen for the boys during nap while I went down the the pool. Two trips into a steamed up bathroom to get Reese to breathe better.
After a small time for him to play, mom and I packed up and went to the emergency room in Foley.
Breathing Treatment with child that thinks we are trying to make him breathe in fire.
Chest and neck X-rays. (for those of you who have had a chest x-ray of your 1 year old-you can feel my pain)
More steriods.
Come back to condo 4 hours later than when we left.
Reese sleeping with me tonight.
.......after all..... tomorrow is another day :)
