McKay and His Swim Goggles

Now that I (Jordan) have finally learned all the in and outs of working this blog, we can update our site a little more often. I don't have to count on Danny to do the blog, because he is super busy finishing the school year and planning the summer season for the girls basketball team. Yes! That is our big news. Danny was made the head coach for the Nyssa Girls Basketball team. I am so proud of him, and we are lucky to have a head coaching job in only our second year of teaching. I myself am having a tough awakening of how much time really goes into coaching and basketball, but I'm getting use to the changes and excited for Danny.
McKay turned 16 months on the 7th, and being a toddler more and more each day. Walking and simply exploring the house has turned into running, spinning, and reaching. His new favorite toy is a pair of swim goggles Danny and I use for cutting onions (we sob like babies). McKay puts the goggles on the side of his forehead, and so I call them his hip-hop goggles. I am so proud to say that he is my little reader. He brings me books all day, have me read one line of them, takes the book back, gets me another, and says "bou". I love it. He has adopted his Boppy as his reading chair and will spend minutes (hours in toddler world) curled up with his blanket and 3 or 4 books. With playing outside as much as possible, this fills our day up nicely.
McKay's colds and coughs hit an all time low this last week. What started with a small cough, lead to a full asthma attack within a couple days. This is the 5th time this has happened since Christmas, so I knew it was time for more extreme measures. I got so tired of the attacks coming on so fast there was nothing we could do. So now, added to the albuterol breathing treatments with a machine during a virus, McKay now
is on Pulmicort, a long term inhaled steroid, that we do everyday to prevent an attack. McKay doesn't care for the treatments, but "Curious George" helps, and hopefully this works out.
That's about everything. We are so excited for our new nephew from Todd and Kylene, Boston Ryder. Happy Mother's Day on Sunday!
