Tuesday Ramble
Just some random thoughts for today...
Blair chooses not to wear shirts (and sometimes pants) when we are hanging around the house. She’ll come up to T and I and say “Off!” while tugging at her shirt. I don’t know where she gets it, but it is pretty funny.
My favorite part of the day is when my sweet love bug grabs my hand, and leads me somewhere (usually the playroom where she LOVES to cook with her food). I have to say, I am very impressed with her interest in cooking. We make all kinds of fun stuff (most would say it was inedible) and will even help me clean it all up. Usually.
B’s cough is still ever present and wakes her up in the middle of the night. At least once. She has done really well with her inhaler, as well as her Mucinex and Zyrtec. She gets a sticker when she takes her meds – and boy does that work like a charm! A-ma-zing. I wish the medicines were working faster, but she hasn’t had any fever or other serious symptom, so we are thankful.
On Saturday morning we got the opportunity to visit with Travis’ grandparents in Tyler. It has been over a year since our last visit and we were LONG overdue. We all basically watched Blair run around and be her busy self. They couldn’t believe how grown up she is (me either!) and how ACTIVE she is. I think that just watching her wore them out. Aunt Lori even scored Bug a bunch of lovies, so Blair was in hog-heaven. We love our Tyler – Wrights and miss them so much. It was a wonderful and much needed visit.
Tomorrow is Blair’s school picture day - stay tuned for how those turn out. Last year she wanted absolutely no part of it – so we will see how this year goes. I may have to try and get her picture before we leave for school – just so we have a picture.
Wish us luck!

Halloween 2012
Well, the Wrights are 0 / 2 on Halloween and trick or treating. Last year, Blair got her first ear infection and was asleep by 6pm. This year, I had everything planned out. We had some family come over for dinner and were planning on getting both Zoey and Blair ready at our house so we could go trick-or-treating. As we were beginning to get Blair dressed, her left ear began to swell. The teacher at school had told Travis that Blair had gotten a mosquito bite on her ear while they were outside. As the afternoon wore on, her ear got more red and swollen and uncomfortable. Naturally, she was pulling and scratching at the bite, so it got really bad and we began to wonder if it was something more serious like a spider bite. So we gave her some Benadryl and hopped into the car and head to Texas Children’s. Bad idea. It was a full moon and we were not the only non-trick-or-treaters.
By the time we arrived in the ER, it was 7:30pm (past Blair’s bedtime and she had only had a one hour nap that day at school). The ER was packed. Long story short – we were there for almost three hours before we decided to leave. We had seen the triage nurse already, and her ear wasn’t getting any worse, so we figured we’d take her home and see how it looked in the morning.
Good news – we all survived, even little Miss! She has missed yet another Halloween – but she was none the wiser. She really has no clue about what sugar and candy is, so it was just another day to her. I finally managed to dress her up in her “costume” this past weekend so I could have some pictures. I made the black tutu and added a tail, painted her cute little nose and whiskers, and put on her kitty ears (which she proceeded to snap the headband in half after about 5 pictures). She was adorable! I am bummed that we didn’t even get to visit our neighbors – but we’ll try it again next year.
