My 2 and a half year old BEAST

We just switched pediatricians offices, and I am so happy I did. We found another office closer, nicer and newer...and they use laptops instead of charts, so it makes getting prescriptions filled much easier, b/c they file them electronically, so you don't have to wait for your meds to get filled when you go pick them up.

Anyhoo...

I took Chase to the Dr's this AM for this funky rash on his face...I had tried everything, and I knew it was a fungus b/c I had tried so many different creams (hydro cortisone, neosporin, OLD DR's office Prescribed ointments) and the only thing that seemed to at least shrink it down was anti-fungal cream. I wanted to make sure he wasn't going to die from all of the jock-itch/athletes foot cream I had been putting on his face, and he had been complaining about his ears.

SO, mommy-point for me, I WAS right, it is some sort of fungus (GROSS! I told him to stop rolling around on the McDonald's bathroom floor! Joking) but the Dr was able to prescribe a stronger dose than I can get over the counter to knock it out. He has beautiful skin (thanks Frannie! his Gma is Puerto Rican so both kids have great skin coloring) and it will be back to normal soon! And his ears are fine...whew. He's just a bit of a hypochondriac :o)

POINT of this email...Chase, my big boy 2 and a half year old...holy crap, this Saturday he is officially 30 months(!!!) weighed in at a whopping 37.7lbs! A BEAST! And he's not fat, he's just tall and "big" for his age.

Ok, in this picture, he looks like a fatty, but that's because he was all up in my grill when I was ACTUALLY trying to take a picture of his sister, and I just amused him for a second and took his picture...it shows his cheek-rash too.

The End.
