What A Day

Today has been quite a day. Last night, Evie had a sleepover with Nana and Grandpa while mommy and daddy went to Shadowbox's late night show for free. When Evie got home she gave mommy a big kiss on the lips before BITING her hard. I had to give her the no biting talk and even without raising my voice or putting her down, she cried like I broke her heart. It felt awful but she really can't bite. I seem to be the only one she taste tests though. Then Evie and mommy went to a baby shower while daddy and grandpa and nana letterboxed.

The shower was at Graeter's and Evie had sorbet due to her milk allergy. Mommy left to help the new mommy put her gifts in her car and left Evie in her stroller with folks watching. When I came back, Evie's left eye was red, swollen and puffy. She kept rubbing at it and no one saw what happened so I kept watch on her and when it didn't get noticeably better consulted with her pediatrician who sent us to Children's Close to Home urgent care. I stopped by our house while waiting for the pediatrician's return call and found Pasquale getting sick all over his crate and acting funny. I tried calling daddy but his cell wasn't doing its thing right so grandma came hover to assist. At this point I was trying to figure out if both Evie and PQ needed to go to their species appropriate urgent cares and panicking a smidgen. Evie won out on who got to go to the doctor first because she's human and her doctor called back first.
We took Evie to urgent care and they put the fluorescent eye drops in to make sure her eye didn't have anything in it. The doctor didn't see any scratches or anything so most likely she had an allergic reaction to something that came into contact with her eye. Since we were in an ice cream parlor and she has a severe milk allergy, I think she may have gotten a smidge of some drop of ice cream she picked up somehow into her eye and the doctor said that could have done it. She has never had a contact reaction before but I guess this means she can't be around milk stuff at all which is scary because everyone else eats and drinks milk products--yikes!

Meanwhile, Pasquale has continued to be sick all evening and daddy is taking him to the vet in the morning. Hopefully it is just a bug and not something super serious. Mommy dropped off daddy and Evie who stayed with nana and grandpa who had been called in to watch PQ while we were at urgent care and mommy and grandma went to get Evie's eye drop prescription filled. The first 2 pharmacies were closed so we drove over to a 24 hour pharmacy that had a 15 minute wait. To kill time, we stopped at Rita's frozen custard and got a much needed snack (but since daddy loves Rita's and we didn't think it would travel well, we thought we would keep it a secret). We came home, put the drops in Evie's eyes and then I noticed my cell phone was missing. Daddy called it and the nice girl at RITA'S answered, busting mommy and her sneaking out to get italian ice. Figures.

Evie cried and was crabbier than normal (allergic reaction in eye + urgent care + eye drops + 3 teeth coming in, including a molar = unhappy baby). PQ threw up on the carpet when mommy wasn't paying good enough attention and now we are about all ready for bed!

To recap our life most recently before today, we went to the fair last weekend with the Imboden's and Gary which was really fun until Miss Thang had a melt-down. She loves Irene and Alaina:
My cousin Melissa is coming to OSU in the AU and was here for orientation, hanging with Evie during a dinner break:Evie wasn't sure about Melissa at first but they are buddies now.

And my final recap will cover yesterday. We went to with Grandma to the Ballantrae water park in Dublin where Evie played in some of the fountains. It is a cool place, and best of all, it is FREE!
She's still a little shy of the spitting water but she did play in the smaller fountains like these. The large waterfall (not pictured) totally freaked her out though.
