We had a great time at the beach with Bebe and Grandpa this week.  We had great weather and left just before Tropical Storm Josephine’s arrival.

Here are Daphne’s pigtails blowing in the breeze.

She took two days to figure out the beach and be comfortable on the sand.  We found a hole in the sand while walking one day, and she loved it.  It filled in with water and was her pool.  So each day, Ethan dug her a hole to climb in and out of, and fill with water as the tide came in.

I think she doubled her sentence length and vocabulary this week. She and Amelia played so well together too, and Daphne parroted Amelia’s words the whole week.

Amelia also tried to resist the beach, here she is reading a book in her pajamas. 

 But it proved irresistable.

The truth seems to be she’s been fighting something.  She’s had a chest cough for almost 3 weeks, but never a fever so we didn’t have her checked out.  Wednesday she started saying “huh?” too much, she couldn’t hear us. We figured she had at least fluid in her ears, and went to the doctor today. 

This morning she got antibiotic (ear infection) and NEBULIZER!! medicine (to clear out her lungs).  She was so excited that she would get to try the nebulizer that is her sister’s companion.  And she figured out it’s not much fun.  Daphne said, “I do nebulizer too!”.

Crazy Amelia story.  Yesterday afternoon we went to visit their new preschool classrooms so Monday am will be easier.  Amelia went potty and sat looking at a counting poster. She said “Mama, 3+2+3+2 is 10!”.  I looked from her to the poster, to her, to the poster and asked “How did you figure that out?”. She said “I just looked at the poster.”.  Wow!
