BYU's Earth Science Museum

Yesterday after school I picked up Aelita and Kiana from daycare and we went to BYU's Earth Science Museum. Aelita loved it and ran around looking at all the different dinosaur fossils and the different minerals and rocks. everynow and then you'd hear her say"mommy look it's a dinosaur and it's so cool." She loves science very much lately, hopefully she'll keep that love of science and school that she has right now.

she loved this dinosaur(above)

Snow

We had snow a few days ago and Aelita loved going out to play in it. We didn't really have much but it was enough to throw snowballs at each other. We had alot of fun.

she also had fun just walking in it and seeing her foot prints in the snow. can't wait to get more snow for her to play in this winter.

Asthma Update

Aelita is handling her asthma very well. she's alway reminding me that she needs her meds. She now only takes the flovent 44 twice a day to keep it under control and takes the albuteral and flovent on her bad days. the doctor says that in a month or two we can try to take her off the flovent completely and see how she does with out it. 

Happy Halloween

Aelita had a blast trick or treating. As we would leave on house to go to another one she would always say "hurry up guys i need to get more candy" She looked so cute as sleeping beauty too. the other thing she would say is "lets go get more candy" or "we can't go home i need more candy"  All she could think about was candy  oh well i guess that's what halloween is all about right. She loved being able to go around knocking on everyones door and saying trick or treat.  When we got to our visting teachers house i held her little on that is only a few months old and when i asked Aelita if i should give the baby back or keep her she said that we should keep her it was kinda funny, however we did leave the baby behind as we went to get more candy.

Aelita is doing so good now. She's not coughing near as much as she was before she started taking her asthma medications. She's also very good about reminding me to give them to her(i haven't forgotten to give them to her she just likes to remind me) She also uses the "I'm Sick, Mommy" excuse to get out of cleaning up her toys or dirty clothes.

Doc Appointment

Well Aelita has had a cough for a while now that no matter what we did we just couldn't clear it up. So yesterday i took her to see Dr. Glade ,who is also our stake president, anyway,  I told her about how she only coughs after she's been playing or at night when she's trying to sleep. He listened to her lungs and stuff and said that she has a slight rattle in her chest and that she has a touch of asthma. The also did an eye exam and told me that her vision was 20/25 which i already knew but at least now i know that her eyes aren't getting any worse yet. After he told me that Aelita had Asthma he gave me two options. I could either give her singular(which could cause depression in children) or a breathing treatment. With the family history of depression i went with the breathing treatment of course. She is now on albuteral and flovent 44. She is doing very well with the medication and not coughing nearly as much as she was. She is still a very active child and i don't think anything will ever slow her down. Even in the confines of the docs office she was running around and getting into everything she could(not such a good thing in a docs office that has sutures and all kinds of not so safe things in it.) Aelita is also now excatly 30 lbs. They didn't measure her though so i have no idea how tall she is except the fact that shes about a foot taller then kiana.

CD player from gama

Yesterday Aelita got a CD Player from her gama and she loves it. However, she always has the headphones glued to her ears and now it's 20x harder to get her to do anything. She also got a sleeping beauty costume for halloween and all the acessories as well as some clothes. She is so spoiled and isn't going to know when the Holidays are. Thanks gama for all the fun stuff.
