Snow and More

 I mentioned in my last blog post that Paige got a pretty bad ear infection that she had to go to the doctor for and get some type of penicillin to help it go away. The medicine helped right away and she was doing great. She was able to go back to school and took her last dosage on a Wednesday. The following Saturday she woke up and Nate noticed that her cheeks were more rosy than usual and she said she was itchy. Upon more examination there were red spots all over her body. So it was back to the doctor. It turns out that you can have a delayed reaction from penicillin and she had an allergic reaction to the medication. Poor girl! The rash didn't seem to bother her that much though it looked pretty bad and it was weird seeing this rash all over her body. After a couple days of medicine to clear that up she is back to her normal self.

On February 4th Baylor slept through the night for the first time in her life! Finally after 15 months! :) She woke up and fusses early in the morning but I could tell that she wasn't really awake and after one or two minutes she went back to sleep. So she slept from 8 to 8 and these last couple of days she has kept it up. She usually wakes up and fusses one or two times during the night but it is for a very short time and then she goes back to sleep. We are making progress!

 Sunday evening it started to snow and we had lots of snow and Monday and Tuesday school got cancelled because of it. It is quite pretty but really cold. It is crazy that last week I was walked around the park three days in a row this close to 60 degree weather and now we have snow. 

Monday morning the girls admiring the snow and Baylor knocking at the the birds.

On Monday we took advantage of the snow and ventured outside for a little sledding. It was Baylor's first time playing in the snow and she was super unimpressed. :) I think some of it was the snow suit that she could hardly move in but it was funny seeing her serious little face the entire time we were outside. 

We did go over to the park for a little bit because Paige wanted a bigger hill to sled down. She went down maybe three times and then was done because she got snow in her boot and her foot was freezing and I went down once with Baylor and she got sprayed with snow in her face and started to cry. It started out fun and then it was tears but at least we got out and had that experience. It was a fun and short adventure out.

The last couple of days have been staying inside and Paige has been super helpful with cleaning and organizing and has done lots of crafting. Baylor and Paige also made this cute drawing for me while I was cleaning up from breakfast. I am one lucky mom to have two such cute and incredible little girls to spend all my time with!
