Laid back

That moment where you realize, maybe I'm just a little TOO laid back as a parent... 

Colin's been having this little cough for the last couple of months (yeah, you read that right... I said months.. not days, not weeks, but MONTHS).. a runny nose... some sneezing.  It all happened right around the time that allergies seemed to run rampant through our house, so I didn't think much of it.  It's starting to get a little worse, so I called the doctor - trying to be all relaxed and cool... and they want me to bring him in to check on it.  Their decision was based on him having it for a while... How silly do I feel that I didn't go in before?  That I didn't remember to ask the doctor about it at his 18 month check up 2 weeks ago.... 

Oh well, I guess you live and you learn.  Hopefully it's nothing that makes me feel worse for not taking him in before, just the run of the mill allergies (do toddlers have the ability to have allergies yet?) or a little cold that is too persistent.
