Mordorski's Miracles & Moments: Allergies and The Coin Carnival

Over the past two weeks, Owen has been coughing at nap and at night. The rest of the day, he is absolutely fine - no congestion, no runny nose, no fever, no coughing. The second he lays down, he starts and literally doesn't stop until he gets up. We've tried all of the usual things to control the cough, but nothing is working and no one is getting any sleep.

I had the day off with him on Friday, so I took him to his pediatrician before we headed off to the coin carnival. The pediatrician said that all looked perfect and that he more than likely has allergies and or athsma. She put him on Claritan for two weeks to see if it will help. Thankfully, she doesn't want to rush into an allergy test. They are miserable! We weren't surprised since I had allergies as a kid, Paul has them as an adult...heck, even our dog Pooh had them and we had to give him allergy shots!

Last night he didn't cough at all and he's only coughed a handful of time so far today during nap. Hopefully he will continue getting some relief.

After the doctor, we went to the 2013 Woodbury Coin Carnival. It's a cute little carnival put on by the park and rec department. Owen had a blast playing games, winning prizes and I enjoyed getting to see the puppet wagon with him. He goes with his friends from daycare to see the puppet wagon every week, so it was fun to be able to experience it with him. It's "his" thing, so he told me all about the puppets, the truck that pulls the puppet wagon, etc.

A cute one I thought I'd throw in - this is their favorite part of swimming lessons!
