Healthy 2 Ingredient Pancakes!!

Ok so I'm always looking for a healthy alternative to give my son and husband. I saw this one online and decided to try it. You will need:
1 banana
3 large eggs
A mixer
I just used my mixer, sprayed the pan, pour and your done!
Top with fruit or syrup. I am a big stickler for consistency and they are a little to airy for me but I think if I add some almonds or pecans it will be fine. To me it tastes like banana bread or french toast.

Fever, Roseola!!!! Poor Baby

On Friday I was going about my day, went to go play volleyball and my husband and my 16 month old son came to watch. My husband handed me the baby to hold and he felt kind of hot but after playing volleyball  thought it was just me. We went to the store where I noticed that he was more cranky then usual. I felt his head and chest and he was burning up!!! I though it might just be teething because his fangs and possibly a molar or two might be coming out. :(

I took his temperature rectally and it was over 100 degrees but the temperature and his grumpiness were his only symptoms. Again I'm thinking teething (he has never been sick in his life). Another day goes by he is now grumpy, hot, and doesn't want to eat!! I checked his temperature again that night and it was 104.4!!!! I am getting so nervous at this point because I know that teething gives them a mild temp but this by far was not mild!!! I'm thinking it's late and I don't want to take him to the emergency room, let's try some home remedies.

Here's what I do:
Room temp bath and a dose of Advil brought it down to where I felt comfortable not taking him in.
His temp came up again so I gave him another bath this time with vinegar, I also soaked a pair of his socks in vinegar and put them on him straight out of the bath. It was amazing how fast his temp went down (you have to be careful with that too). We went to bed and of course he woke up several times throughout the night and felt more comfy sleeping with mom and dad (it was the only way we got any sleep too). The next morning we woke up and the fever was gone but he was still fussy and didn't have an appetite only now I noticed that he had little red spots on his neck and face. I called his ped and was told to bring him in. I was told it was a virus and that there was nothing we could do but let it run it's course cause now that the fever was gone he was no longer contagious. Today he still has some spots but his appetite is back and he is smiling again!! YAY! You feel so bad when your kids are sick and can't tell you what's wrong.

So Roseola a.k.a type of measles, sixth disease, you suck! Never come back!
