Posts about Lydia (either during pregnancy or after birth).
Yesterday, Lydia and I went to coffee so Isaac and Cyndi could take a nap. Here's a picture I took while we were there.
Last night Lydia nor Isaac slept well. This morning, they were really cranky. They slept all afternoon. We went to the Carol Service at church this evening when we got sent home because Lydia was a bit warm. Well, Cyndi and I didn't think she was, but we came home anyway. Well, after eating a bit for dinner, Lydia promptly got sick on the living room floor.
Lydia getting ready for Year 1!
Here's a link to the Lydia's First day of Reception post.
Lydia loves the water. Tonight is her first swimming lesson.
But something tells me her experience won't be like mine with Mr. Hickman in Beeville, Texas. That guy really cared not only about kids learning to swim but being comfortable around the water and learning to not panic. One of the things he did…when it was time to go off the diving board you went. If you got there and cried and wouldn't go…a lifeguard came and threw you off. Before then, he had us line up on the side…then a lifeguard would randomly push kids in and you had to collect yourself and swim to him.
Lydia has a milk and egg allergy. We found this out when she was real young–she didn't have teeth yet–and I gave her a bit of my McDonald's Chocolate Milkshake. Long story short, she had a severe reaction. Because of that, she hasn't had chocolate (real chocolate) until today.
At church, one of our friends brought us an everything free (dairy free, nut free, gluten free, and egg free) chocolate bar. Lydia really liked it! The bar is made by a company here in the UK called Kinnerton. Here's a link to their page on the dairy free nut free gluten free egg free chocolate bar. The image to the left came from their website…I just reposted it on flickr so I could post it here without hot linking.
I think this is her second one ever. But she's got an ear infection. Cyndi took her to the dr this morning and got some meds….
Here, kids' birthday parties are a big deal. If you invite people, you go whole-hog and hire a venue (typically a play-place sort of thing), have lots of food, and invite tons of people. On Sunday (25 March) Lydia was invited to a party for one of her classmates. They had face painting and, of course, she got her face done. Here are the pictures of her in her face paint.
