A weekend away

Thursday we went to the ENT to see if we needed tubes. She (the ENT) said she thought we did. We go Monday to get them. I guess it is pretty uncommon or "bad luck" for kids who are nursing to get tubes. Sigh.... I just keep telling myself at least this is all I ever have to deal with as far as sickness goes.

I am pretty nervous about tomorrow. She can't eat anything from 12 midnight to when she gets the tubes in. We aren't suppose to show up to the doctor until 7:45. That means she will be awake at least an hour without nursing. That isn't even counting the number of times she will get up in the middle of the night wanting to nurse. Sigh...

Oh well. I guess it is just one night.

We spent the weekend with my friend Jacques who is moving to Thailand with his wife and baby next month. We had a nice relaxing time at their house. We walked down the to swimming hole. It was COLD, but peanut loved it. She kept slipping on the rocks and laughing like crazy. Did I mention it was cold? She had a great time and was disappointed when we put her clothes back on. We forgot to bring our backpack, so I ended up carrying her for most of the hike. It wouldn't of been that big of a deal, but the way back is straight uphill.

It was cute to see Peanut and Jacques's son together. They were interacting with one another. Peanut was showing him what to stick in his mouth and how to play with the dog food. They were talking to one another and making noises back and forth. Jacques's son is a lot quieter than peanut (not saying much, a freight train is quieter than her) so he spent quite a bit of time watching to see what she would do next.

We also had the unfortunate opportunity to learn that peanut is allergic to strawberries. I don't think it bothers her much, but she breaks out in hives. At least we think it is the strawberries. I hope so. Poor girl, I guess there is no strawberry pie for her.
