Sick again.

Arden has been sporadically throwing up the last 2 weeks. I stayed home with her on Tuesday because we were afraid she had a virus after throwing up twice in the middle of the night. She was less playful and took several naps but didn’t get sick again and by Wednesday seemed fine. But then on Friday when she threw up again as we were walking out the door to go to school I decided I’d had enough! Time to go to the Doc! My kids are notorious for throwing up with both strep and ear infections, so I thought it best to get her checked out. Jarrod took her to sick call and the doctor said it was likely just congestion and lots of snot backed up. So they put her on an antibiotic and steroids just to help it clear up. Jarrod took her on to school since she wasn’t acting like she felt bad and wasn’t contagious. Plus I had a super busy day and couldn’t really stay home with her. The steroids are keeping her up at night (worse than before) and making her really cranky. She is starting to have more of those “terrible twos” meltdowns. Ugh. Otherwise she seems to be doing ok, she hasn’t been sick again- Knock on wood.

Taking clothes off the baby is so much fun. And doesn’t everyone wear Mardi Gras beads around their house??

This. Child.

She wanted me to put socks on her HANDS and then refused to take them off. And then got very frustrated because she couldn’t do anything because of the socks. But every time I tried to remove them she would scream and pull away!

This is hard to see, but short stuff is having a hard time reaching the play stove, so why not pull the oven door down and use it to stand on??

Moment of sweetness- and some crazy hair!
