Too much progress for one day!

Mom and Dad have been a little concerned that I still couldn't crawl even though I was nine month old. Many friends excused me for being a big boy. Today I made my break.

First, mom found out I stood up myself in my cribe. It was a shock to her. As usual, I had to do it again as Dad need a proof. Certainly anyone could see I gave them a big WOW.

Then, after an hour swimming in the evening, followed by a short bath, I was supposed to get ready for bed. I gave them anothr big WOW when they found out I was crawling FORWARD. I didn't think that was such a big deal, so it's hard for me to give them a surprised look.

Now they finally had a peace on their minds. How come it's such a big deal for them. Let me tell you why. Mom and dad heard from someone, who claimed she heard from her doctor that a baby who starts walking without crawling first would end up with disliking reading.

Obviously, they believed it!!!

I was sick today.

Yesterday it was the weekly library story time. I had fun as usual. In the evening, I went swimming. The pool water was so warm and nice. No surprise in Texas. If I was not bitten by a mosquito in the end, I would call it a perfect day.

After I took a bath, my throat started to feel weird. Therefore, I didn't give mom and dad a good night sleep. I woke up twice and my raspy voice caused their attention. Next morning, we were in doctor's office. She said I had croup, caused by virus. Then I got my prescription. And I also skipped my music class to avoid getting my classmates exposed. Guess what? Four out of six bodies were missed today for being sick. If democracy worked here, the missed would be the two little healthy ones.

My medicine really tasted bad, so I threw up every single bit of it. Technically, I am still a boy who never took medicine, which mom and dad were proud of. My 100.3 degree body temperature was right at the edge of being judged as a fever, so I escaped from having Tylenol as well.

All right, it is bed time again. Hope tomorrow I will be better. At least not sound like a barking seal.
