A Sunny Morning at the Park, Followed by a Nebulizer and Avocado

We started the morning at a park near Stonestown Mall which is where the kids pediatrician is located. Both kids have been dealing with a pretty icky cold so we had appointments later in the morning.

Tyler had a blast at the park. It was the perfect size for him, had sand, and was a manageable space for Mommy who had both kids. He was even really good at sharing his sand toys with a couple boys we met.

Here are some picture of T enjoying himself. He looks so grown up.












And here's Emma hanging out clearly not feeling well.




After playing for a little while it was time to go to our appointment. T was amazing. We'd spent the morning talking about seeing the doctor and playing with his stethoscope. He even wore his doctor shirt today and knew what to expect. So, after waiting a long time (T was so patient) we finally saw the doctor and he sat in the chair by himself while he got examined. He did great and Mommy was so proud of him.

Tyler got sent home with a cold and no major symptoms. Emma, on the other hand, got sent home with a nebulizer for wheezing. Poor lady. She has to be held down while we treat her with albuterol. She got one treatment at the pediatricians office and another at home. She hates it but I think she feels better afterwards.

Here she is hanging out with Mommy while T took his nap. She hasn't been this happy in a couple days.



And here she is at dinner tonight after giving herself an avocado facial. :)



Unfortunately, she mustn't feel that great still because the sleep training went out the door tonight. She didn't want to be put down in her crib and there is no sleep training when one is sick so let's cross our fingers that once she's better she'll go back to sleep and we won't have to start all over again.
