Sick Baby

Boston is still trying to get over whatever it was I brought home from school last week. He has been on an antibiotic for over a week now and has been receiving breathing treatments every four hours from this machine we brought home from the doctor. He hates it, but he seems to be breathing a little bit better. I have been fighting a cold for over two weeks with no end in sight. Will spring ever get here?

Valentines weekend was eventful. Cara and I tried to go to Red Lobster on Saturday, but the plans soon changed once we saw the parking lot. We said, "Let's go around 4:00 to beat the rush." Apparently everyone else in Ft. Wayne had the same idea. We ended up at BW3, which was fine by the three of us. Boston loves chicken! On Saturday we watched a student of mine play sled hockey. The league is created for kids and adults who are in some way walking impaired. They maneuver a sled around the ice using their arms to pull themselves with short hockey sticks that have spurs on the end of them. It was pretty cool.



In other exciting valentine news, Definitely Gary made it into the Journal Gazette on Friday. "My Baby Loves Fat Free Butter Spread" was voted one of the area's Best Local Love Songs. There was a small write up in Friday's Weekender. It's great to be famous. Here's a link.

Brush Your Teeth

Since Boston has been getting more and more choppers, we thought it was time we try our luck with brushing his teeth. I acted like I was brushing my teeth with his tooth brush, which he thought was pretty funny, then offered it to him. At first he only wanted to suck the Spongebob, bubble-fruit toothpaste off of it, but now he has the hang of it.



Things around here have been business as usual. Boston eats more and more each day. He has his favorites, but we have still yet to find something that he doesn't like. The other day Cara took him to Cracker Barrel and he ate half of a pancake by himself then grabbed a handful of hash browns when she wasn't looking. If there is a banana lying around, he will devour it; if you have a glass of orange juice, consider it gone. It will be nice when he gets to the point where he can recognize the difference between food and not food. Until then we'll just have to keep EVERYTHING out of baby reach.
