You used your potty last night!!!

First let me give an update on your MMR shot side effects.  That fever lasted for over two days.  I kept calling the Dr's office and they kept telling me that it wasn't related to the MMR vaccine, but I don't believe them.  First of all when Audrey took Annalee to get hers and ran a high fever with rash and blisters in her mouth that same day, they told her it couldn't be related to the MMR.  When I questioned your Dr. about it he said the same thing that those symptoms could not be related to the MMR vaccine.  He said that it would take one to two weeks for those symptoms to show up and that Annalee's reaction was probably caused by her Dr. likely giving her MMR shot at the same time as the DTaP vaccine.  So then when you got your high fever, that was not contagious to any other members of our family, it fit with what our Dr. told us would happen.  Yet when I called the office the nurses kept saying that it could not be related.  First I was told that the fever was too high.  Which contradicted the fact that the Dr. told me it WOULD be a high fever.  Then I was told that it took too long to get the fever, that you should have had a high fever FOR 7-10 days after the shot.  That contradicted everything I'd been told before.  I hate to say this but I seriously don't trust a single thing that any medical professional tells me when it comes to vaccines.  Either they are complete liars or have no idea what they are talking about.  The good news is that you pulled through this just fine.  We kept alternating the ibuprofen and acetaminophen until you showed no fever.  It just so happens that because of me staying up late with you each night I slept through my alarms the next mornings and that's how we realized that you were still feverish the next morning and not the final morning.  Also, your fever would start to climb right at 4 hours between medicines.  It was quite stressful.  I'm so glad that is over.   

We noticed you trying to go potty and as I was holding Enoch I asked Daddy to wisk you off to the potty chair.  He did and you finished your business on the potty chair making it your first time to actually put something in there!!  We are so proud of you!!

Hopefully we can keep this up so that you get used to the routine of using the potty when you need to go poo.  That's the easiest part.  Trying to get you younguns into the routine of going pee pee in there has always been the most difficult part for me.  We'll see how this goes.

I love you Honey!

 I want to mention the new word.  Just a few days ago we finally realized that "Dapa" is your way of saying "diaper" and that when you say it you are letting us know that you need a new one.  Love it!  Keep up the good work Sweet Pea!
