Landry Paige is allergic to Arkansas. (Ok, to be fair, I think she has adult onset skin allergies, but still.) She scratches and digs all the time now. We just recently ended a round of steroids, and some other medicine, and she seemed better for a few days but is now back at it.
So, last night I decided to give her a bath. We have some oatmeal dog shampoo, and I thought maybe I could get the grass, and whatever else she's allergic to, off of her while also "soothing" her skin. My plan failed. She was still scratching when we went to bed, which drives Jarrod absolutely bonkers. He can't sleep when she is scratching and her collar is jingle-jangling. THEN.....we woke up to her getting sick.....under our bed. When she's in trouble, or wants to hide from Collin, that's where she heads. Evidently, it is also where she goes to get sick. This all happened at 4:29 AM. And again at 6:30 AM. Just lovely.
Eventually, we all had to just get up for the day. Collin has his breakfast as soon as he rolls out of bed in the mornings. He can't be bothered to snuggle or lolly gag. It is straight to the kitchen where he promptly begins pointing and babbling on about what he wants to eat. Jarrod will usually turn on the TV during this time and they'll watch "toons" or hunting shows. This morning, in an effort to restore some calm to our household, Jarrod turned it to the Serenity Radio Station. It sounded like a spa in our house this morning.
Collin finished his breakfast, started playing and then proceeded to just about have a blowout. I didn't see it, but I have heard about it LOTS from my wonderful husband! I was getting ready in our bedroom while listening to Collin in his room fussing at his daddy.
Here is a little of how the conversation went:
Jarrod (upon opening the diaper): Whoa!!! Oh my gosh, kid!
Collin: STOP!!
Jarrod: Hold still...
Collin: No! (I'm sure he was pointing his finger as well. He does this for emphasis!)
Collin: Mommmyyyyyyy!
Jarrod: Collin! Hold still. I am trying to get all of this poop off of every inch of your PRIVATE AREA!
All of this arguing, and discussion about the massive amount of poop, is set to the serenity music coming from the living room. Let's just say there was lots of laughing coming from me during that conversation!!
Everyone made it to work and daycare safely. Now, I just have to work, clean, cook and watch Landry to make sure she doesn't ralph anymore, because we are having Community Group at our house tonight. If it's not one thing, it's your mother ... or your dog ... or your baby ... or your husband.
Here are some pictures of Collin being his cute, silly self!

| Driving his car in the driveway last night. He had to have his hat turned like that b/c his Daddy was wearing his hat backwards at the time. |
