Misery and Art

We think it's allergies bothering Aaron. He can't breathe through his nose, or SLEEP, and he has a cough, runny eyes and a runny nose. He is already on Zyrtec once a day for previous nighttime breathing problems. This is additional. He is so miserable. Which means WE are so miserable. :)

Here is Aaron two days ago before he was feeling so crummy. He had just discovered the vegetable steamer. He picked it up, opened it and said "raining" and held it over his head.

Then the allergies attacked and I found myself... alone... all day... with a sleep-deprived, CRANKY toddler. So we headed out to the store (an adventure in itself) and we bought new art supplies. Once home, we had a lovely peaceful 90 minutes of art time. We played with PlayDo, used watercolors for the first time, glued shapes onto a paper and decorated it (something he does with Susie), and drank wine. Well... the wine part was just me. Aaron had LOTS of fruit juice laced with an herbal antihistamine (thanks Susie and Tina).

To be clear...he is having FUN in these pics. He kept saying "fun today!" and "rinse your brush" and "fresh water please". It's the allergies making him look so miserable. I swear.
