The Hospital

So I saw a couple of doctors this week at the hospital. I went on Tuesday morning because of my ears---more ear infections! And the doctor gave me some medicine that I was just on 4 weeks ago. The doctor said I have to get tubes put in my ears which sounds a little freaky but oh well. And then on Thursday my eyes were swollen shut and I got more medicine for my eye infections! I still have green goo coming out of my nose and yellow goo coming out of my eyes, but the doctor said it should all go away in a couple of weeks. The good thing about going to the hospital this week is that we went early enough to miss the rush, so we were seen pretty quick. I definitely did not like the metal thingamerbobber that the doctor put on my chest---brrrrr! So hopefully I'll be well enough to come swimming next Friday!

Everyone Needs A Quiet Place

Ellenor has found the inside of our unfinished fireplace to be her special quiet place. She takes stories to read in there and her favourite toys to play with. When she has done something she knows she shouldn't have (i.e. throw the plant of the ledge and have it land crumpled and broken on the stairs) she will retreat to her quiet place and just peak her head out now and then to see if Mommy is still angry. I don't know what she'll do in a few months when we finally finish up the fireplace---maybe she'll hide in her closet--who knows?!!

Swimming!!

I went to my friend Keira's place on Friday for a swimming party, and as you can see, I'm all decked out in my swimming gear, ready to get wet. However, I wasn't much in the mood for swimming that day, so instead I sat near the pool and played ball.
Hayden's mom was nice enough to play ball with me. Thanks Sheri!!
And then to end of my afternoon of non-swimming, I decided to take a car ride with my buddy Presley. It was a tight fit but we managed to both fit in!

Slides!

When my Gramma found out that I could go down slides on my own, she bought me my own big girl slide! I was so proud of myself for being able to go down on my own that I had to look off to the side at my Grampa to make sure he saw what I did! I'm going to my Gramma and Grampa's house tomorrow, and I can't wait to play on my slide!

How Cute Am I???

My mom was trying to make me smile because she had her camera out, but I at the time I was more interested in smelling the flowers (which is important to do a busy baby's day). But when my dad came home from work, he also took his camera out and I thought for him, I would smile. And voila...the cute picture!

PIG TAILS!!

So my Grammy bought me this iddy biddy elastics for my hair. My mom thought it would be "cute" to pull my hair as tight as possible into these elastics....not once but twice. I didn't quite enjoy this and tried to pully them out, but my mom said "no...they're pretty!" Well, I did leave them in but they eventually came out when I sat in the stroller. My mom said something about positioning them on the sides of my head next time so that they won't come out so easily---does this sound strange to any of you?!? Well, we'll see what happens!

Sand Time!

I've discovered sand!! The playground that I go to when I visit my Gramma and Grampa have SAND, not bark mulch...which is what my playground has in Chilliwack. It is very fun to fill the pail full of sand (with the help of my mom of course), and then lift it up as high as I can (almost eye level), and then pour the sand down over my body. It feels so neat! Another good thing to do is to eat the sand, because then it makes a cool gritty sound in between my teeth. Bark mulch does not have this property. I have to eat the sand on the sly though, because my mom says it's yucky...but I quite enjoy the whole sand experience!
