Happy 65th Birthday, Mimz!  Thank you for taking care of your sick grandson on this special day.

I woke up at 7am wanting a sippie.  I drank it and went right back to sleep.  I ran a fever all night.  The highest was 102.  Daddy made me an appointment with Dr. Lacour at 10:10.

 Barbara met Mimz and me for my appointment. I weighed 36 pounds (50 percentile) and am 41 inches tall (75 percentile).

 I do not have strep or bronchitis.  I have an upper respiratory virus.  I am to take Mucinex four times a day and Cheratussin AC Syrup at bedtime.  I was super well behaved.  Oh, Dr. Lacour did say something that I did not like and I got red in the face and was pretty angry with him.... Mimz told him how I will not poop on the potty.  Dr. Lacour said to put me on a potty schedule.  I must sit on the potty six times a day: when I wake up, after breakfast, snack, lunch, and dinner and before bedtime.  It doesn't matter if I cry, I must sit there.  I am a little kid and I can't have control of the situation.

******grrrrrrr.... I had more written on this post and it disappeared.... grrrrr... it is so hard to remember and rewrite but i will try.....*****

I wanted to go home with Mimz so she took me back to her home.  The first order of business was to get two medicines down me.  I put up a fight, so I ended up getting it in a sippie cup.   I took a two hour nap before we went to meet Barbara.

I must have decided it was not worth fighting my medicine because I took the Mucinex and my night time medicine easily for Barbara.

When Barbara told me we were starting my potty schedule, I put up a fight and was not going up the stairs willingly.  I ended up in Time Out.  When Time Out was over I went upstairs and willing sat on the potty for two minutes until I heared the motorcycle ring tone on the iPhone. 

I was willing but Barbara still had to do a lot of fast talking to keep me in the "willing" mood.  We talked about how this would work and why I HAD to start using the potty.

I had a good appetite and was happy playing motorcycle cop going after a litterer or listening to Barbara tell story after story.

Mimz sent a jar of honey home with Barbara for us to enjoy when we eat the cornbread that we all enjoy so very much.  Thank you, Mimz.   Oh, a funny thing:  Mimz sent over a piece of chocolate birthday cake .. probably for me, but GGM ate it.  She said it was great!  That was okay because I was full of dinner and later I had an ice cream cone with my favorite Butter Pecan ice cream.

It wasn't long before I really had to "go."  And I willing ran to the potty.  As often happens it takes a long time for me to "go."  I sat there for a few minutes and then would get up and play and then I would run back when I had the urge again.  I did this for the next three hours and when Mommy came to pick me up ( it was late, 9pm) I still had not gone but I was trying and only asked for a diaper one time.  I think this was a very successful training session.

I did not act like I was sick or felt bad, except maybe I did not have as much energy as I usually have.
