Aaron has and is still getting over his first proper illness which is Croup. This a virus in the respiratory tract and has caused Aaron to struggle to breath. In fact one night this week he woke up in a panic and he was really bad and we were on the verge of calling for an ambulance as he was really struggling to breath. Luckily he calmed down but Kelly had to stay up with him all night, just in case.

The following day we took him to the doctors who diagnosed it as a moderate case of Croup and gave us a prescription for a steroid table to give to him. After he took that, he cleared up really well and didn’t struggle to breathe any more, which was a major relief! Croup can get so bad that it can stop babies from breathing!

He now still has a bit of a cold and a chesty cough but nowhere near as bad as it was.  Hopefully he will get over it in a few days!

Here is a lovely picture of Aaron and Daddy taken at Lappa Valley Railway at the end of August.

Aaron and his Daddy

On Friday 2nd September, Aaron had his first little swim in a proper swimming pool.

We went to the Pavilions as they have a fun pool there (Ben as well) and Aaron loved it!  He usually likes going in the bath at home and kicks his legs and makes an awful wet mess, so we thought he would love the swimming pool as well, and we weren’t wrong. As soon as his feet touched the water, he started kicking and got excited. Ben, on the other hand, hates getting water in his eyes, so he didn’t like it as much!

The fun pool had lots of bright colours and water features which kept Aaron interested (and Ben as well), which was one of the reasons we decided to go there instead of a normal pool. During the time we went, 945am – 1030am,  it was Toddler and Parents only in the pool which was very helpful as it kept the pool fairly empty and quiet. Would recommend the place to anyone with Toddlers!

We were in the pool for about 45 minutes when Aaron started to get fed up so we then had to leave. He did very well though for his first time in a swimming pool and seemed to enjoy it a lot! 😉
