kyle's 2nd birthday and the pedia visit

finally had the time to spare to detail what happened last week. it was quite busy but fun at the same time. :)

[kyle's 2nd birthday and that dreadful fever]
i took the day off from work to buy the food we were going to prepare that night. we opted not to have a grand celebration since it's kyle's 2nd birthday. there weren't any kids yet to invite so the grand celebration would be held when kyle turns 5 or 7. anyway, after sending the kids over to my in laws since they prepared food for kyle and his other cousins, i got to work.

went to puregold to buy the usual things for the kids. diapers, powder, soap, etc. went home and well, napped for an hour after lunch. after the lovely nap, went back to puregold again to buy the ingredients this time with aishi. (oh my poor poor credit card... you were used well) aishi and i planned to cook carbonara for the family. i actually planned to prepare this dish but knowing my culinary and kitchen skills, well i asked aishi to take over. he's a better cook than i am. and the result was fabulous! yummy and uber amazing! so after the pasta was cooked, he headed over my in laws to pick up the kids and buy kyle his cake and chicken from jollibee! kyle loves their chicken by the way, especially the skin. hehe

after picking kyle and keon, i noticed that kyle was a bit quiet and well, not his usual self. i asked his yaya to give kyle to me and there i knew he was running a fever. i thought it was the usual "lagnat laki". i was cheering kyle up and asked him to sing with me twinkle twinkle, which he did. but he was still not 100% kyle. once home, i checked his temp and he was running a 38 degree fever. i told him he has to drink his medicine so that he'll fell better and so that he can blow his candle better. he was quite the cooperative boy!

so, we showed him his cake with a candle and we sang him happy birthday. even before we took his picture he blew the candle already which we lit again, then he blew it again, we lit it again... until we were able to capture the moment. all the while keon was happily watching his big brother. of course that little boy was all smiles.

after dinner, we put kyle to sleep so that he could rest. around 2am or so, i checked kyle again and his temp and this time he was running a 39 degree fever. i rubbed him down with a cold wet cloth to help keep the fever down. and gave him another dose of paracetamol, amidst his cries and protests. i told aishi i'llbring kyle to his pedia that morning.

[the pedia visit]

and so we went to his pedia. i asked my dad to drive us there since aishi had work on a saturday. it was only mommy and kyle going to the doctor. i asked his yaya to stay home and assist keon's yaya. so anyway, while we were waiting for our turn, kyle asked for his milk. he was halfway done with his milk when he gave it to me. i guess he was just thirsty that time. after handing his bottle to me. he gave a loud burp and then vmoitted all the milk he drank. good thing there was no one in front of us or else they would get wet with kyle's vomit. i had no choice but to clean it up. i used up a whole roll of tissue, i was making sure to clean everything up. part of me was embarrased for what happened and part of me was happy since no one complained for what happened. for sure the mothers and the fathers there, know the feeling when that happened. i mean we're in the clinic for check ups! :)

so after the clean up and telling kyle that it was ok since he was sick, imagine the look on his face after seeing his throw up on the floor. we were finally called by his doctor. at that moment he became quite fussy and clingy to me. i thought everything was going smoothly, when the doctor tried to check kyle's throat(they were suspecting tonsilitis) kyle started flailing and crying. there was this instance where there were already three of us holding him down when he still managed to kick the doctor. i immediately said sorry since his pedia was quite old, he was my pedia too. (hehe). after the struggle and crying, it was confirmed that kyle did have tonsilitis. and as a peace offering to kyle, his pedia gave him 2 lollipops, which kyle happily accepted with matching hikbi. he immediately ate the lollipop but i told him he can't finish it since it would make his throat hurt. he was a good boy. after a few tastes, he gave it to me by putting it in my mouth. hahaha imagine kyle and i going down the stairs, mommy with a lollipop and little boy along with her. hahaha

and so that marks kyle's 2nd birthday. :)
