Snowy Friday!

By Jamie

I was just thinking the other day how we have gotten through most of the winter without any major sicknesses.....and then Mya wakes up with PINK EYE on Wednesday!!  Come to find out, it has been spreading itself around her school, so it was just a matter of time that she would bring it home!  Good news is that Mason, Jim and I didn't get it, and Mya's eye is healing pretty quickly.  We had to majorly bribe her to put the drops in, since she was terrified of them--she will be getting a Tiana princess dress this weekend!!!  At one point, we had to put them in while she was sleeping!  Another challenge was keeping her away from Mason!!  She loves to get up in his face and "play" with him, and I couldn't even tell you the number of times I screamed "don't touch him"!!!! I think we're beyond the contagious stage now, so she's safe to play with him again...and put his paci back in his mouth the 100+ times per day that I ask her!!

***Update***  There will be no Tiana dress purchased this weekend.  Putting the drops in Mya's eye has been awful....we have to hold her down.  I don't know how we're going to do this for two more days since she is not cooperating.  I guess her eye is getting better, but it's still a little red.  Oh, the joys of parenting:) 

***Update #2***Just when the first eye was getting better, she got it in her other eye!!  Poor Mya!  She still wakes up with her eyes sealed shut, but is much, much better now!!  She got a lot more cooperative about us putting the drops in.  Praise the Lord that is over!!
