They won again!

Well, right after I took the pictures in the previous post, Emma's nose started to run. (and I am serious about the 'right after').  She was literally fine one minute and the next she wasn't.  Allergies!!!  I am sooooo tired of them.  By the time she went to bed Sunday night, she was coughing, sneezing and had a constant runny nose.  Needless to say, we did not get a lot of sleep (like maybe 3 hours).  So once I finally got myself going, I decided just to bring her to work with me, so that I could keep an eye on her and make sure she got her meds when she was supposed to have them. 

Luckily, I am fortunate to have a job where on occasion, I can bring her to work with me.  I have a small loveseat in my office and I have it set up for her for when she is here.  There is a small tv with a VCR in it and I have brought some of my old VHS movies from home to keep here for her.  As soon as I told her she was going to work with Mommy, she says....'I can watch Snow White.'  And she did.....THREE times!

She is so content.  Notice she has her favorite napping blanket (a Baby Snoopy quilt), her favorite stuffed animal 'Brown Dog', her princess figurines, a root beer from Sonic, and some new 'Nemo lipsticks' (chapsticks).

After lunch, Miss Geneva, had a surprise waiting for Emma on the couch. A puppet (Emma loves puppets!).  They named her Rachel and Geneva taught her how to make Rachel 'talk'.

Emma was so good all day.  She even took a 2 hour nap!  I got a lot done (Yeah me!) and I was able to spend the day with her (Yeah me!)  So while her allergies may have won again, I won too!

I understand all too well about the allergies. It's amazing how happy a puppet can make a little girl.

I wish there was a magical poition that we could take to make these uglt allergies disappear forever. I an glad that Emma was able to spend the day with you and all went well. Hopefully it will be a while before they return.
