Potty Training...The beginning.



Isaac has started to show interest in potty training. He has started to refuse to wear diapers. Takes them off as soon as there is any indication of wetness. We bought some Pull-ups, but I find them a bit of a waste of money, and since we bought the ones that get cold, i find that Isaac thinks they are burning him, he becomes extremely aggravated and rips them off the first chance he gets. We are still not quite to serious about it though, just attempting to get him to know what peeing in the potty is. I am sure he isn't quite ready yet, but we will get there.

Peanut Allergy or not?



Its a little hard to see the picture of Isaac's rash, but it came right after eatting a couple of peanuts. He came to me crying and gagging, and I thought it was because peanuts can be sharp, and he isn't used to that kind of food. Then he is making a little hack noise, and a deep cough. I panicked! His cousin Alexis has a peanut allergy, she gets anaphylaxis from peanuts, so we are normally really careful, but he has been fine eatting peanut contaminated food before. But the rash came so fast, I knew. And he was crying and having problems breathing. I made him drink some juice and he told me he was itchy, I made a million phone calls and finally called the poison control center, who told me to give him benadryl. I do not recommend you panic like I did. Call 911. Which is what I should have done, but, thank God, he was fine after the benadryl. Now we go see the the Doctor to get a referal to the allergist.
