Friends

Hope and Jaley shared their first wagon ride together last night! We were worried they would grab at each other and accidentally pinch or pull hair, but they didn't, they were good girls. They did want each other's toys though, but can you really blame them?
This is the exact wagon we (or Santa??!!) wants to get Hope for Christmas except we want the one that has a shade/canopy cover for those sunny days. I like it because the bottom opens up to a seat on either side and it has seatbelts, so they don't crawl out. It also has cup holders, isn't that neat??

On another note, we found out last week that Hope is allergic to Penicillin. She had been battling a cold for two weeks and it had gotten worse. Dr. said she doesn't have an ear infection, but her ears weren't completely healthy either- somewhere in between. Since her cold has gotten worse and her ears were in between healthy and not, she decided to go ahead and put her on antibiotics to avoid a full blown ear infection over the weekend and during the hurricane. Hope had her first dose of Amoxicillin Thursday night and then again on Friday morning. Friday around lunch time, Keri calls and asks if Hope had any bug bites on her when we brought her in. I told her no, we didn't see anything. Keri said, either she got bit outside during play time (which she didn't think was the case) or she has a rash. I went over there and looked myself and sure enough it looked like a rash to me, so I called the Dr. We gave her Benadryl immediately and went to see the Dr. Sure enough, she had hives and the Dr. confirmed her allergy. She said it was a mild reaction and to continue giving Benadryl until the hives were gone. We are now on a different antibiotic and everything is clearing up nicely. We are glad to know and so glad she didn't have a huge reaction.
