A First for Beau

Sweet little Beau has been so healthy for over 10 months, but that couldn't last forever. He was a little snotty and goopy (in the eyes) for the last couple of days. I finally took him the the clinic this afternoon after it seemed like the snot wasn't going away. He has been in a great mood and never ran a fever, but we just needed to find out the scoop from the doctor. Sure enough, he has an ear infection and probably a little cold. The eye boogers are just run over from the extra snot, and I'm glad we don't have pink eye to go along with the ear infection. We got amoxicillin for the infection and Vigamox to clear up th eyes. (The best part of the $60 Vigamox drops is that they work on pink eye, so I'm prepared for the next time someone brings that home!) Beau was still in a super mood and ready to play once we got that taken care of. He missed his first Super Bowl Party but had fun with Nana and Pops. Linc, Daddy and I went to the Robison's to watch the game . . . well, there wasn't much game-watching going on. Linc played with Clare, Jane, Sydney, Conner, Elise, Alexis, and Emily. They were wild and had so much fun!!! Beau's buddies Lewis and Graham were so cute and sweet, and little Stella and baby Harper were just dolls. Samantha had lots of yummy food of course, and we did our best to eat it all! Linc loved the quesadillas, taquitos, carrots and pretzels. He must have eaten his weight in pretzels!!! The grown ups had fun in between supervising the kiddos, and it was nice to visit with the Eoffs, Brosnahans, Smiths (there were two Smiths there!), Devinneys, Nelsons and Robisons. Beau was super happy for us to be home, and he got lots of hugs from Linc. I hope Beau's medicine works quickly, and we're done with being sick for a while. I love my Sweet Beau and want him to feel the best all the time. I'm so thankful that he's been healthy for so long, and I'm so glad this is the first time he's been sick . . . let's get it over with already!
