Just Because...

Is she just not the cutest thing ever?!

Rain In The Forecast? Maybe In Her Dreams.

This is how little Miss chose to fall asleep tonight. She put her purple rain boots on to go to bed. (Does she know something I don't know?!) 😙

Her first REALLY fat lip.

Poor Brynlee fell out of her camping chair on the concrete yesterday. And she got tangled up and couldn't catch herself...so she hit her poor, cute little face. She put her teeth partially through her upper lip. And road rashed her left side of her face. There was a lot of blood...and a lot of tears...but we got through it. In fact, she was fine less than 15 minutes later (despite her huge fat lip!). She's a tough girl!

 

Rough Day

Today, Brynlee had to go to the allergy specialist to have her blood drawn. They poke you in the arm and draw blood as a toddler, just like they would an adult. They had me lay on my side...pin her one arm under my side...pin her legs between my legs...and hold her other shoulder down, while a nurse held her arm down...another poked her...and another nurse hooked up the test tubes to catch the blood. As soon as Brynlee started getting pinned down, she got scared and started crying softly. I think it hurt my heart as much as it hurt her arm! (Okay, probably not. But, it was hard for me.) After they were done, she snuggled right into me and quit crying. What a champ!!

The nurses were super nice and great. They even spoiled Brynlee after her draw by giving her bubbles, a mini stuffed animal, and a bouncy ball. 

The blood draw is supposed to give us an accurate count of how bad/severe her egg allergy is.  We'll find out next week sometime.  If her count isn't too high, she might get to have a bite of cookie or cake occasionally...and her allergy could go away sooner! Fingers crossed for low numbers!!!!
