Sammy has been sick this last week, which has made it a very long week. He started coughing Friday morning and just kept getting worse, so Monday we were at his Dr bright and early to get some antibiotics for this new strain of pertussis that is going around town right now. Yes, they vaccinate for that, but I guess this strain is new. Lovely. I think there is also something in the yard making his allergies nuts because we were out back for seriously 2 minutes Monday before he came over to me fussing because his whole face was draining. Eyes, nose, mouth(because his throat hurt so he was drooling a lot). But he seems to be feeling much better today, thankfully. Here his is having a breathing treatment and holding the mask all by himself. Andi used to fight me on this until she was like 3, but I think Sammy gets that it helps him feel better so he just holds it while we read books.

Andi would really like Sammy to get better so we can resume our afternoon pool routine. I sent her over to a friends Tuesday because she just kept asking me to take her to Grandmas to swim, and when I'd say no she would say, "Mom, just call someone to take care of Sam and we can go swimming."
I also started P90X this week and am proud to say that I am only slightly limping today, as opposed to the hobbling around I was doing last weekend. Andi's daily swimming routine is what motivated me to get working out.
Today is Andi's last day of dance class for the summer. Her recital is next weekend and she is really excited about the costume and make-up. We'll see what she does when she has to go out on that big stage. I have a feeling we'll have a harder time getting her off the stage than on.
