Today I took Austin to the E.N.T. doctor. His nose is always running, and he has a chronic cough. Dr. Gardner scoped his nose and throat. Austin was really brave during the whole procedure. Dr. Gardner said that Austin's adenoids were slightly enlarged and that his throat was a little swollen, but he seemed to be okay. We are moving on to see an Allergy/Asthma doctor on Friday to see if by chance it is just allergies before we try other things.
While we were gone, the other kids were hard at work testing out the snow cone flavors for the snow cone shack they are constantly dreaming about. They all want to sell snow cones so badly, that now I'm going to have to pull through as a mom and make it happen! I'm happy that they are all dreaming and scheming together, it's just that I'm not sure MY dream is to run a snow cone stand!! Ha!
Austin also had a baseball game this evening and Mom and Dad came to watch. We had such a great time sitting in the shade cheering for Austin. During one inning while Austin was pitching, he threw out two batters at first base and struck out another batter. He got all three outs! He was so cute out there, and so very happy to be pitching. He loves it. We won't talk about his behavior earlier in the day when he cried and cried because he doesn't want to do ANY jobs around the house!! Ugh!
It's been the most beautiful day today. The weather right now is absolutely perfect. We are having clear blue skies, temps in the low eighties, and a slight breeze in the afternoons. I LOVE having my windows open, but everyone's allergies are going really crazy right now. Greg has been really suffering. So today I shut the windows in our bedroom, washed all the sheets and pillowcases, dusted and vacuumed, and hope that it makes things better for Greg. There is a window right next to my bed that I usually open wide at night and fall asleep listening to the crickets chirping and the palms rustling. By the morning, our room is usually pretty chilly, but it just makes my big, cozy bed feel that much better (and that much harder to get out of!).
Hopefully we can get on top of this allergy season, but in the meantime, I'm throwing open the windows in the kitchen and family room and enjoying the sounds of birds chirping all throughout the day. What a glorious world!!
