Getting rid of the bad word

I thought it was going to be more difficult, but is been two days and he hasn't say it once. Instead he is naturally reacting to the "Oh Gosh" we tried to imposed.
Well this is the story. It is true when they say they repeat what they hear at home.

Well, I have discovered that we say the "Oh Sh.." word a lot. After a long weekend about a month ago, we watched movies, and my reaction to scary, things falling, surprising, or any kind of exciting things will be with that word. Well, the Kid got it all right, perfectly... that was his very natural reaction to anything scary, to anything that fell down, to almost everything. It started being embarraasing, since it was already migrating with him whenever we went out. So we tried to say "Oh Gosh" louder whenever he sayd the bad word. Then last week he started saying both simultaneously, still naturally. But good news, I haven't heard it once, since yesterday... Yuuuuu hooooo, Mission Accomplished.

Another good news, he is fully potty trained, both number 1 & 2. The only thing that still needs work is the night one. But he goes pee pee before he goes to bed, and immedately after he wakes up. His night pull up is still wet though. Congratulations to

Monkey Doodle

for his accomplishment, he is two months away from his 2nd birthday and is doing great!!!

Family Weekend

My childhood friend Maryori came over with her family to visit for the weekend. On saturday we went to Miami MetroZoo, had a great day with the kids who were delighted to see all the animals, refresh at their kids friendly refresher zone, ride on a 4 passanger bicycle and enjoy a great family afternoon eating fruit frozen bars. We also walked over to the

beach

on Sunday.

So we decided to take the kid to Disney for his birthday. My son had a fever the day before we left, so right before we took off, we stoped by his pediatrician to see what was happening. He had a fever, and a beginning of an ear infection. The doctor gave us the OK to travel and prescribed medicine for him.
On our way there (3 1/2 hour drive) we stoped at one of the stops to eat, bathroom, etc. At one point I saw my kid fainting, his eyes were elsewhere and his mouth was trembling crazily. He was having a seizure, I got so scared, started screaming immediately, called for help. My husband grabbed the kid and we didn't know what to do. A trooper came immediately and asked if we wanted an ambulance, to which at no doubt we said yes. A very nice employee told us to put water on his head, I screamed no... but somehow the guy forced my husband to the bathroom and the kid reacted, Thank God. He started crying and asked for mami, We were much relieved, it was a really really scary experience.
When the ambulance came, they told me it was a fever seizure, that it was normal... and to keep going to Orlando, since they had an excellent pediatric hospital. So we did, but there was no need to take him to the hospital, the kid's fever never came back, he was playing and talking as a parrot happily thereafter...
he had a blast with Mickey Mouse, and loved the park; although it was way too hot and humid. May this remind myself not to go to Disney on Summer time. It was almost unbeareable.
His Doctor explained everything about that

fever seizure

and step by ste on how to stop the fever.
1. take off all of his clothes, take the temperature 5 mins' afterwards.
2. give him tylenol (temperature remaines the same)
3. give him motrin (one hour later, temperature still high)
4. 1/2 hour after the motrin, temperature still high, take him a bath, the water will not be too hot or too cold, and keep the child inside the water for as long as needed untill his high temperature drops.
5. if no bath available then follow by rubbing the neck, forehead, feet with a damp cloth. This one has to be really cold, with ice if possible.

The key is to do anything and everything to keep the fever down. Fever is usually a sign of some infection, could be an ear infection, throat, etc. So let's keep the fever down, and take them to the doctor for the right treatment for the infection!!!
Good Day!!!

I think he looks like me. . .
