Just when I thought life was boring.

Last night I was thinking how wonderfully boring my life is.  We have playgroups and play dates.  We have dinners out and family time together. 
The this morning I woke up to this horrible barking and it wasn't coming from the dog.  I have never heard such a sound come from my son's mouth.  I knew what the sound was but he was running a very high fever and was having trouble breathing so we got dressed and went to Children's Hospital Boston.

We're so lucky to have a wonderful hospital so close by.  They're not only great with children but they are very comforting to parents as well.   Garrett was dosed with steroids and fever reducers and is now home watching the puppy bowl.  You can hear the croup cough when he laughs.
Today will be full of snuggles from mommy and daddy and lots of Tylenol and Motrin to keep his fever down.  I guess this is what happens when I say life is boring, it throws a little excitement my way.

Thank goodness! It is so scary, isn't it?

And just what is it about puppy bowl, anyway? I find myself mesmerized. C

He thinks the puppy bowl is the most hilarious thing. it works out since I love to hear him laugh.

We're lucky to be in a major city with one of the best hospitals for children.
