My poor little Tatertot is sick.
He hasn’t been himself since last Tuesday.
On Tuesday we all had a stomach bug that was not pleasant.
He started coughing really bad Wednesday night.
By Thursday he added a fever to the mix.
By Friday we had a cough, fever, running nose and puking.
Saturday night after a day of dosing with Triaminic for the cough and Tylenol for his fever he was coughing so hard he kept waking himself up and he his fever just wasn’t going away, he was sweating and he was freezing.
We found ourselves in the ER around 11:30 pm.
Diagnosis – Bilateral ear infection.
We left with a prescription for an antibiotic.
Here we are, Tuesday morning and he is not doing any better.
The cough is getting worse and he is just miserable.
Looks like mommy is calling the Dr’s office for an appointment today!

It has been 5 days since Tatertot has used a Pull-up!
We couldn’t be happier!!!
This past Saturday I realized we were running low and that’s when I decided we were slapping the plastic liner on his mattress and having him take a nap in his underwear.
Nap time was a success.
When he woke up 1.5 hours later he went to the bathroom right away.
Saturday night we decided he would go to bed for the night in his underwear as well.
He was asleep shortly after 8pm and woke up at 2:30am because he had an accident.
Yes he had an accident, but this was progress….he WOKE UP!!
On Sunday, he successfully napped in underwear once again AND made it from 9pm Sunday until 6:30am on Monday in his underwear with zero accidents!
This has continued since.
Last night, he was so tired he had an itty bitty accident in bed but woke up and ran to the bathroom to take care of everything and then went right back to sleep and made it through the rest of the night.
I am SOOOOOOO happy!!
We are finally done with Pull-ups and we don’t have to buy diapers or wipes for Bean for quite some time since we stock piled while I was pregnant!
Here’s to some extra money to put in savings for a down payment on a house!!!!

Lately we have been experiencing some anger issues with Tatertot. I am not talking about your normal every day almost four year old tantrum. I am talking about serious anger issues like punching, kicking, slamming himself against thinks, screaming, throwing….you name it.
I am at a loss as to what to do with him to discipline him anymore. Nothing seems to work. I have already taken away his toys, time-outs don’t work and spanking him doesn’t get us anywhere.
I am at my wits end and so it Hardworking Hubby.
This is not something that I have dealt with before.
Right now I am working on setting up an award chart to see if that will help at all but I am definitely open to any ideas you may have!
Please share!!!
It’s either we nip this in the butt or I am going to start drinking…..A LOT!
