Little patient

Baby girl's got herself a case of croup.

I took her in to the doctor today, and they prescribed her Prednisone (steroid) to help open up her airways. She's taken the first dose today before bed, and she'll take 2 doses a day for 3 days.

Seriously, aside from the "boogedy boogs" (which are in abundance! I don't think I've ever seen so many boogs before in my life) and the cough from time to time, she is a happy little Beeba Show. Well, and I should not forget the lack of naps. She has not taken a good nap since about Monday. But, that's not stopping our ShowCase.

Her favorite toys these days are a closed tube of Aveeno butt rash cream and her wipes. She will sit there and "squawk" in delight at these things forever and happily amuse herself. She also is hilarious in the bathtub these days. She's finally decided to let loose and splash (or, "sploosh" as Maddie and Faith call it-- and they think she is so much fun in the tub with them!) everything and anything, and just loves playing in the water. I think I'm going to have to bring back the glory of sink baths to show Abrie's big sissy's how much fun they used to have playing in the sink. My only fear is that they'll want to get in there with her too, and they definitely don't fit!
