Welcome 2012! Our Christmas was lovely but 3 days later, Cooper started running a high fever and vomiting. The fever came down, vomiting stopped but a persistent sore throat and neck remained. I took him to Urgent Care (strep test-I am no dummy I could be a Dr after 18 years of parenting-not to mention my deductible is starting over today) So, yesterday we went and got the strep test done. Urgent Care nurse had a list of questions regarding his "history" Any family history of diabetes? Heart disease? Cancer" As I answered and contemplated some of the answers, I paused and Cooper said "What's that thing Preston has mom?" I said "Autism. It's really not the same". the nurse, Taylor and I all stiffled our grins.
Cooper lost a tooth this week. The tooth fairy has been a little lax and on day 3 I asked Coop how he slept. He replied "Not good." I thought it had to to with a case of strep he was currently battling. He said "The tooth fairy STILL hasn't come" I said "Oh, well, she probably is staying away from you since you are sick." Shwweeeee. Close call. He said "Yeah, you're probably right". THEN, I took it too far. "Would you like for me to email her?" He rolled his eyes (yeah, should have addressed that at the time) and said "Oh mom. No one knows THAT" UGH. LOL
