Texas Trip

 Here are a few photos from my mom's camera of our visit home. My camera never left the bag for some reason. Paige really enjoyed the puzzles that Grandma got her. She was able to do the numbers pretty well by herself in a few days.

 She loves our old rocking chair.

 Say CHEESE!!!!

 Teaching Grandmother a few of her dance moves. Her favorite is spin!

 Woo Hoo!

 Cheese with a bright flash

 Are there any more toys in here?

 No more toys

 So we improvised... and Grandfather's walker made a great buggy

 We were busy for a while...

 Then Mommy became an airplane

 Queen of the hill!

 This one speaks for itself.

I forgot to mention with the croup story about Paige's medicine. She had recently pain relievers a few times before we went to the doctor and had learned what to expect with the syringe type dispenser. She was not happy about getting medicine most of the time so getting a prescription with more required doses wasn't going to go well. While trying to keep the experiences good and not so negative, Richard let Paige hold the syringe and drink some of the medicine herself. She liked that much better. That night at bath time Paige and Richard played with a extra syringe in the water. When the next mornings dose rolled around she wanted to hold it herself, big surprise! Within 2 seconds, while being held by Richard, Paige had painted Ibuprofen all over her bedroom wall. I wish I would have taken a picture. Richard said, "I probably shouldn't have showed her how to do that." Since then she has been drinking her medicine from the small cups it comes with and everyone is happy. Now we know... just let her do it herself.
