medical journal worthy

AHHHH! This has been such an awful couple of days!

My poor baby is miserable. My heart just aches for her, because I can't do anything to help her feel better.
Reese (obviously) had a horrible reaction to the Amoxicillan She was taking for an ear infection. She finished her 10 day dose and then broke out. The doctor called it Erythema Multiforme. and it is an external reaction.. meaning that it isn't effecting her breathing or anything life threatening. She is just Miserable!! They burn and itch uncontrollably.
Poor baby! Benedryl doesn't seem to do much.
If anyone has had this happen to one of their kids, please let me know what to expect next!!! Every day seems to get worse. The first day she has a few small spots on her arms and legs and diaper area. The last picture was taken this morning. She is so swollen, She looks like a different kid.

No more penicillin for this baby!!

Reese's crazy laugh

This little girl is so funny to me! She does this laugh when she wants to get you going. She will do it at grocery stores to complete strangers.
If you look closely you will be able to see her one upper tooth. She is 17 months old and only has two bottom and one top tooth. This makes her laugh even funnier with her one snaggle tooth!

The world of Coke

The Last day of Lauren's visit was kind of a disappointment. we had planned to spend the day at six flags but when we got there it was closed!!! we were so bummed.
we ended up having a fun day at the world of coke where we got to try 60 different types of soda from around the world.

The next day we went to a Safari. nasty slobbery animals put their huge heads in our window bigging for food. It was a cool experience, but trust me when a big slobbery tongue came my way I would roll that window up pronto!
one of the funniest things that happened was when we were all looking out the left side of the car trying to get the giraffes to come to us and all of the sudden a big Zebra had its whole head in my window and about scared poor Reese and me to Death! I couldn't stop laughing and the thing wouldn't go away. I have to say, I prefer my exotic animals at a distance.
We did get to feed the Giraffe which was pretty cool and it didn't slobber too much.

Lauren's visit starts with the aquarium

Lauren (my niece) came out for a visit a few weeks ago. She was really sick the first few days of her visit. So she rested on the couch the first two days BUMMER!!
We did get to do some fun stuff. We went to the Georgia aquarium and had a great time. Everyone except for Reese! All those big ugly Fish really freaked her out. Lauren loves animals so she was in heaven. And Leah is still talking about the Penguins.

My baby is a big girl!

Leah started Pre-K a few weeks ago. In Georgia, the state funds a education program that pays for all 4 year olds to go to pre-school. it is all day school just like the big kids. No half days like I grew up with.
Leah's name was actually chosen from 89 names and is able to attend pre-k at the elementary school (everyone else has to go to a day care center). Her class has 20 children in it. She loves it!
She loves it so much that she woke me up on Saturday morning with her school shoes in one hand and an outfit in another.
She is such a social butterfly. She tells me about all her friends and what they talked about. She tells me how one shy girl is starting to talk to her now. "I asked what did she say?" Leah's answer was "she said 'Go away and leave me alone!"
Hey, well at least she talked! and Leah seemed pretty excited about it.
As you can see from the third photo, the school schedule was hard to get used to. the first few days she didn't take a nap during nap time (she of course wanted to play). She is now taking naps and going to bed around 9:30 instead of the usual 11:30-1:00!!
This school thing has been good for the whole family and our sleep schedules.
