Showing Love

Alyssa missed most of her Valentine's party on Thursday since she had to go see the doctor about her cough. They always have parties on Thursday and Friday because not all kids go 5 days a week. Her cough was much better this morning, so I gave her the option to go to her party or Addison's party. Of course, she chose Addison's party! Alyssa's teacher texted me this picture today along with get well wishes from the class. So sweet! We are really going to miss this amazing school when Alyssa starts kinder in the fall! 

Spirit Day Friday

We've got a lot of school spirit in 1st grade! Although, I only put the bow in my hair for the picture!

Cough Cough

This little girl has been coughing nonstop for the last 3 days. Nothing has been working to help her. Steam shower, honey, Delsym, Benadryl, etc! I kept her home from school on Wednesday to give her a day of rest. Thursday, I wasn't going to send her either, but she was devastated when she realized she would miss her Valentine's party! I went ahead and took her and was sure to tell the teacher about the cough and call me if needed. I got the call around 10:30 that Alyssa was coughing and wanted her mommy. She saw the pediatrician at 11. There's still a little fluid in her left ear that was infected a couple of weeks ago. Since Alyssa just finished her antibiotic last week, the pedi isn't too concerned and will re-check next week. About the cough, zero congestion. Lungs clear, throat is fine, nasal passages are fine. Looks like the nebulizer will be working overtime for the next week. Pulmicort twice a day and albuterol every 4 hours. I can definitely tell a difference this evening! Fingers crossed that a few days with the nebulizer and she won't be coughing anymore! Dare I say, the cough sounds like Addison's asthma cough. 

Addison's 100th Day of 1st Grade

100th day of 1st grade! I don't know where the last 100 days went though! 

99 Days

Addison will wake up in the morning surrounded by 100 balloons! We are celebrating 100 days of 1st grade tomorrow!

Yes, that's Alyssa down there on the trundle. Please don't be delusional and think she will sleep there all night. I will hear the pitter patter of her little feet in a couple of hours!

Feeling Better

No more earaches and no more pinkeye! Yesterday was the last day of eye drops for Addison. Thank goodness. She wasn't a very good patient! Alyssa doesn't like the antibiotic, but at least she takes the medicine without much of a fuss.

My Shadow

Alyssa always goes to sleep in her bed, but usually climbs into my bed after a few hours. Lately, she would rather be on the couch with me until I go to bed. No ma'am! Tonight she was so upset and wanted to lay on the couch. I told her she could go back to her bed, go ahead to my bed, or just sleep on the floor by my door since she didn't want to be away from me. I wasn't ready to go to bed yet!

She chose option #3...
