Allergist Appt.

Peter had an allergist appt. yesterday. We know that wheat is still an issue so we did not test him on that at all. We did test his milk allergy and he no longer shows a milk allergy with the scratch test. That is great news. We are not sure when we are going to start challenging the milk in his diet, especially with the start of school right now, but we will do it soon.

Peter also had his first experience with a scale that you stand on. He loved to bounce on it. The nurse finally gave him a sticker to play with and got his weight. Peter is now a square. He is as heavy as he is tall: 35.5 inches tall and 35.5 lbs.

Potty Training

Last week I bought Peter a potty chair. I bought him the Boon Potty Chair. I was not expecting much, but he has had a major fascination with the toilet so we should just try. When I go to the bathroom he runs up to me and says diaper, I take off the diaper, and he sits on the potty. Last night he told me diaper so I asked him "potty?" and he ran into the bathroom, I took off his diaper, and he sat there. Nothing happened as usual. Later he started straining so I thought I would take advantage of it. I ran him into the potty and took off his diaper. He sat there singing and being silly so I thought nothing had happened. Then he got up and I found that he had pooped in the potty!!! Yeah!!! We did a little dance and got him changed into his pj's. I can't believe my baby went poop in the potty. Now the trick is having him go again.

Peter's New Friend

Peter has a new friend. Brad and Lisa, had their baby boy, Ben, this morning. He was 7 lbs. and 19 inches long. The whole family is doing well but tired.

Sick

Peter has been teething really bad but has had a fever for the past 5 days. This makes sense with teething. He also has not been sleeping, really runny nose, cough, and the cough is now so bad that he needs his inhaler. So, Rob finally took him to the doctor. He has another ear infection, a cold, and teething. The poor thing and the poor parents who have not slept in days. We are exhausted. On the happy note, the little one is not so little. He is 32 lbs!!!

One last thing, Katie only has one week of school left and Rob has a week and a half. Summer here we come!

Big Boy Bed

The furniture arrived for Peter's room and he has been sleeping in his new bed since Sunday night. He is actually going down in his own room finally and started sleeping through the night last week. It is a happy change but still a lot of work. I know it will get better over the summer though.
