Swimming

Cousins - Jackie, Rose, Justin and Lauren

Ashly and Christopher swimming for Nate's birthday party. Fun times! The kids swam and ate some good food at the community center, then we headed over to Nate's house for more birthday fun. The kids had fun playing outside, it was beautiful weather!

Christopher started rubbing his eyes and they were getting red and puffy. First time for this to happen, so I was a concerned mother, of course. Mike offered to run Chadd to the local Walgreens. While there, Chadd asked the pharmacist what is recommended for a one year old. She said "they" don't recommend using benadryl under the age of two. Chadd said ok and thanked her and bought the benadryl anyways!!! I supposed he didn't want to come home empty handed to me!!! Anyways, it seemed the general consensus amongst the women at the party was it was ok to give it to him. Apparently it can cause "excitability" in young children. I gave Christopher some benadryl, his eyes got better, and nothing ever happened!!! (he didn't sleep well last night, but that could just have been a fluke too). So possibly allergic to the dog??? Who knows?
