We went to Aspetuck Apple Orchard here in CT today, and we went all out. We got pumpkins, apples, peanut brittle, cider, and the best damn apple doughnuts I have ever had. The weather was beautious (low 60s) with a crisp, Autumn breeze playfully caressing our hair and faces. Ellie enjoyed herself, eating her first apple off the core.
We finally got another family foto; one of the ladies working there was kind enough to help us in that department.
Ellie was a bit cranky yesterday and this morning before our little excursion, but we chalked it up to a molar that's slowly making its way through her gum. But when Ellie awoke from her afternoon nap, we found out the real culprit to blame for her unhappiness... an extremely itchy and puffy right eye. THEN it dawned on me - PINK EYE. Ugh.
I remembered Teri (her daycare provider) had mentioned one of the other kids had been sick during the week, and they thought he possibly had pink eye. So I called her up to confirm, and, yep, poor little boys' got it. And now my poor little girl does, too. She's had it once before, so we know what to expect. But she's a lot older now, and she rubs her eyes like crazy. These next 3 or 4 days are NOT going to be fun.
My poor baby. Hopefully it'll start to clear up soon since we caught it so quickly. We called the doc to make sure we could give her the drops (he gave us the thumbs up), and now we just have to wait. Oh, and struggle with giving an 11 month old eye drops 4 times a day.
It was looking to be such a good day, too. That'll teach me to joke about my mom's cold.
Karma's a bitch sometimes:)
