Last night I noticed that one of Cameron's front teeth is chipped! :-( It's not really jagged or hugely noticeable, but I'm pretty sure I would have noticed it if it had happened before. We did go...to warrant a trip to the dentist, even though I love his dentist , but perhaps I will give him a call to see what his advice is. My baby's perfect teeth. :-( Just in time for his birthday. :-

No fever, but he's doing a little barky cough at night. I don't think it's croup; or a very mild case if it is. I put the humidifier in his room; it seems to help.

Cameron slept like a log last night. Did not hear one peep out of him from 8pm to 7am, not even talking or crying in his sleep, which he nearly always does. I guess he slept it off , because he seems to be fine. He went in the pool and everything. Maybe it was the vaccines after all. I guess we'll see if his temperature flares up in the evening.

Cameron started his new day care on Monday, and sure enough, last night he came down with the sniffles. Today, when we picked him up, he had a fever and "Tio" (Albert) said he didn't eat much for lunch...went to tearing about the house more or less as usual. Gotta love tylenol! Managed to get him down for an early bedtime c. 8:00pm, and I haven't heard a peep since, so hopefully he'll sleep it off

Yesterday I went for a physical.* The NP was very nice. She asked if there was anything I was concerned about, so I told her about Cameron's hearing test and about not being immune to chicken pox ....this appointment and my "fun doctor" (i.e. OB-GYN) appointment last week, there was no co-pay. They said there was no co-pay for "preventative" appointments. This is definitely a new thing. Rawk on

Cameron passed his hearing test with flying colors. I, on the other hand, flunked it. I had him on my lap, and the technician lit up various fun-looking toys. There was a Sponge Bob on the left and a...You didn't hear them?" T. (to me, laughing) : "Maybe you need to get your hearing checked!" Me: (not laughing) : "I guess so!" I do need a physical. I don't think I've had one since I was a kid

Cameron has a fever. And that's it. No lethargy. No loss of appetite (except for a couple hours this morning; I gave him Tylenol and within half an hour he was back to devouring everything in sight). The...to ear. WTF? I hope he continues to feel fine -- and that he's not contagious. We're driving to the Bay Area tomorrow. It would suck to come down with something just as we're leaving for Austin

Cameron did great. Nobody cleaned his teeth or anything; he just got his mouth looked at by the dentist. WE LOVE THE DENTIST. Long hair, a goatee, a brightly-colored bandanna on his head -- could this..." He gave C. a child-size toothbrush. "Made of recycled yogurt containers!" he said. Ha! We got out of there and T. and I agreed that he was da bomb, and that we ourselves might just start coming to him

The adventures of the hospital bill did not end with the day I chased all over town . It took another month, several more phone calls, and a lot of frustration. Here's a synopsis: Middle of April, I...because within a week I got letters from Kaiser saying they'd paid the bills, and when I called the collection agency and typed in my account number it said, "This account has been cancelled." Whew

I think Cameron's over his whatever-it-is . He had a first-class tantrum this morning. He's also back to eating regular food, though his trend toward pickiness has continued apace. Today, however, he...your chicken if you want ice cream" routine, and I didn't turn out a picky eater. I did, however, turn out not really liking chicken all that much. Which, if that happened to Cameron, is fine by me
