Soccer and Asthma

Austin had his second soccer game and did so good!! He was out front with the ball whenever he played and was more aggressive with the other team, which the coach told me later that it is a good thing. It just means that he has what it takes to play soccer. Madison never did that, but then again, she never really liked it! Watching Austin play is completely different than when Madison played, so maybe soccer will be his thing, as long as his asthma holds off. Last night, after playing hard all day, Austin had his first full blown asthma attack. He woke at 10p.m. and couldn't breath. I've never heard him wheeze so hard!! It was super scary, but we (ok Garrett....I was a wreck.... again) got him calmed down with help from his nebulizer, inhaler, and a walk in the fresh air. His lungs are still tight and he's "barking" like a seal, but seems better this morning. My friend has a boy who has attacks like this 2 times a week and she told me that we have to find his "trigger." Could be allergies, the cold rain he was playing in yesterday, or the fact that he played outside, hard, all day. For now we are giving him extra cuddles and lots of rest....for all of us :)

Miles watching the kids!

End of August

School has been going really good. Madison loves her teacher and is busy making new friends. Austin is doing really good in school and on his off days I have him working on concentration skills on the computer. Miles is doing great!! Already at 11 pounds and is so smart. He knows basic commands like sit and is pretty good at staying. He's doing really well in the front yard without a leash, but does like to bark at the kids coming home from school!
Austin had his first game last Tuesday and did great! Almost scored a goal, for the wrong team, but it would have been awesome!! Did touch the ball with his hands, but we think he fell on top of it. He's loving it and has practice tonight.
Madison is still doing cheer. She loves it so we keep taking her. Yesterday I had a mix up with the times so she actually ended up in the tumbling class, but did really good. I got to go in a watch for a little bit. She's getting really good with her back bends and is good at hand stands.
SO between soccer, cheer, and new puppy we are really busy around here.
