Day at the Beach

Over the weekend I came down with a double ear infection.  Sure makes it hard to sleep.  All I want to do is lay on Mommy, day and night.  It's been tough.  With my ears hurting, I have been thrown off balance.  I try to walk, but I wobble more than usual.  I fell flat on my face on the tile floor the other day and got a little bloody nose.  Then the very next day I tumbled and hit my mouth on the seat of a wooden chair.  My tooth that was almost ready to poke through?  Well, it was quite bloody, but that was enough to make it appear.  I saw my pediatrician on Monday and he gave me some yummy medicine to take.  Its pink and it tastes like bubble gum.  Mommy tells me I am a good girl because I take my medicine, but really I just like the way it tastes. 

 Towards the middle of the week, I started to feel better and the weather was really nice so mommy and I decided to get out of the house and we took a walk down to the Edmonds beach.  Like usual, I napped in the jogging stroller on the way down there.  Once there, we got to watch a ferry dock, load and take off.  

Then we walked hand-in-hand in the sand along the water.

Then I got my first taste of SAND.  And I mean 'taste.'  I picked up a big handful and shoved it right into my mouth before mommy could stop me.  Good thing mommy thought to bring my sippy cup with us because I was able to wash out my mouth.  Yucky.  I will think twice before doing that again.  (notice I didn't say I would NEVER do that again...)

The beach really tuckers me out.  But we had a good time.  We were able to enjoy a hint of the nice weather that is just around the corner.
