A little under the weather.

By -
Autumn and I are both feeling a little under the weather today. Autumn woke up with that "croupy" cough she gets on occasion, so I made an appointment for her with the doctor. I went on and gave her a puff of the inhaler and she didn't cough the rest of the day. SO of course by the time we get to the doctor, she has no cough, O2 was at 100 percent and the doc is basically looking at me like why did you bring her here.... Not a happy time. This is the same doctor who made a nasty comment at me when I discussed with her that I would like to wean Autumn at one year old. Do you remember that?? I tried to not let it bother me that she was so condescending, but who was she to belittle my concerns. I don't understand why every time Autumn gets a little sick, she gets that croupy cough. I do not understand why when she is running around and playing she starts having coughing fits. I think it is possible something else may be going on (especially with my family's long line of asthma problems). All I wanted was for the doctor to reassure me that Autumn's lungs are strong and healthy and what things I needed to be concerned about, look for and/or make an appointment for. That doesn't seem unreasonable to me.

Anyway, Autumn doesn't have a fever, her congestion is really just about gone. Now I am the one with a cold. Hopefully I'll get over it quickly and we can get on with our normally very healthy lives!

Hope you don't mind the vent. Needed to get that off my chest.

I guess that even though we aren't feeling that great, there really isn't any reason we cannot have a little fun.

Play doh
Today our evening fun activity was play doh! Autumn LOVES play doh!

Lump of sugar
I guess she decided the play doh was lumps of sugar since she put them in her tea cups. Please note the spaghetti sauce all over her face!!

Blowing on her tea
Got to blow on your sugar, I mean tea before you can:

Taking a sip
Drink it!

Here you go
Autumn said here daddy and held one out for you.

Roar
Overall, we had a roaring good time!

I love you and miss you.

73 days of loneliness.

Snowzilla.

Autumn and I began the day shoveling the driveway. That is much more work than it sounds like. I had to get us both suited up for the ten degree weather, put her in the backpack, then head on out. It took us about an hour to finish the driveway and when we came back in, poor little Autumn's face had frost nip on it. She has now had frost nip twice. Later today, we went to visit Snowzilla. Frosty the Snowzilla man is huge!!! The local government is trying to put a stop to Snowzilla citing a building code violation. Well, I say down with the man!!!! Keep Snowzilla up. He isn't hurting anything. Anyway, here is a photo of Autumn and me with Frosty the Snowzilla man. Here is a related article in the Anchorage Daily News.

Playing with fire.

I hear clank, clank, clank in the kitchen. This cannot be good, grab the camera first though- for proof. You never know what you might find. Uh huh! AUTUMN!! What mom? I wasn't doing anything! So I've moved the knives for now, but it is only temporary. They need to go in a locked cabinet. I took Autumn's step stool upstairs to our bathroom so she could brush her teeth. I think I'm going to head back to Target and buy another one. I'm lazy and do not want to drag one up/down the stairs. Autumn really enjoys brushing her teeth.... with MY toothbrush! Say AHHHHHHH- checking to make sure she did a good job. She is so funny. Autumn and I are going to head downtown after nap time to see about the ice sculptures and check out the Christmas lights. Remember that house in South Anchorage that does the Christmas lights to music over FM radio? This year is the last year, he is moving and his new neighborhood cannot support the traffic. He may set them up somewhere e...

The man in the box.

Not really, it is just Autumn but saying the little girl in the box doesn't sound as cool. Autumn got in the box and was popping out of it. Then she told me, "Mommy, go that way." I think Autumn is on the tail end of this "cold." She already seems to be feeling better. Her nose is drying up, so that is good. I gave both of the girls a bath tonight, then I even got one! Emelia did something today that shocked me..... She rolled over. Of course that happened the day after you leave. Something else that waited for you to leave..... a 4.9 earthquake. It was the first time I've actually felt one since we moved to Alaska. It was, to say the least, scary to me! It did sound like a train/car/plane hit the house. Autumn was in rare form today. She told me that: She was going to take a nap on the stairs. Just kidding!! Such a sweet girl. Tomorrow we go to the Buckner gym for the first time with Emelia. I'm feeling a little nervous about it, but I'm...
