Aowyn has been coughing quite a bit! She has been struggling with an ear infection that I have been treating with essential oils and lymphatic massage this time. I think her short nap on Saturday was due to that as well. But when they start to drain she usually gets congested and coughs. I brought an extensive dr. Kit so I will listen to her lungs and just make sure it's still in the throat like usual. Praise God: Kevin put Breath Again on her chest at 3 am and I didn't hear any more coughing from her till 5:30 am!
The guys got an early start and so did I! Kevin could not find the keys so we were both searching the house with our smartphone flashlights at 5 am! Thankfully we found them.
Because of day light savings we woke up late. You can really tell if someone is a routine person or a schedule person around this time. I am a routine person and find it a little harder to adjust. I think Amy is a schedule person so she has been much more successful at "julting" her children into the new time. We should take notes!
Today was another fun day out with the kids. Aunt Amy treated us to all the things we never get to do at the mall - ride the carousel and train!! We rode in the green car and Mitchell and Evelyn rode in front of us in blue.
Aowyn wasn't feeling 100% so her pics are a little off :(
But she really enjoyed looking out the train window!
Then we headed to the carousel. Marlow picked a horse right away and since she didn't want to ride last time, we let her decide what row we would ride in. She was very brave! And even let the carousel conductor help her up on her horse without a fuss! Drakeford actually climbed up all by himself. Big kid! Aowyn wasn't thrilled with the whole thing but she tolerated it. It was much smaller than the one at the zoo and I stood at the very closest row, needless to say I was feeling a bit sick mid way through the turn!
They also got a horse stamp on their hands after the ride! Drakeford has never gotten a stamp before that I can remember and he was curious when it would wash off each time we washed our hands.
Then we headed to chick-fil-a to pick up some lunch and head to this really neat train park. It was huge and had big train shaped equiptment! (That of course I took not one picture of!!) I was pretty wiped today and not walking my best but I wanted to have a fun day for the kids. God will sustain me!
Drakeford saw the big kids climbing up this two story rope spider web tree and decided he was totally capable. And you know what? He was! He wanted to go right to the top! That is, until I stopped him and asked him to come down!! Not to be a downer but he was already too high for me to go get him and if he made it all the way to the top and got scared...I'm not sure what I could do! But he decided that almost all the way was good for now. He climbed down all by himself too. So exciting! Marlow found this "bumpy" slide. Like the ones at old chuck-e-cheese play places that you ride down and it's made up of lots of little rolling "pins". It was cute to see.
Home, nap, dinner, bed!
