So Precious

Alexis was having a hard time falling asleep for her nap today.  I had to go in to get her resettled at least five times.  Finally I told her that I had had enough and she needed to stay in bed and go to sleep.  I didn't hear anything after that.  A couple of hours later I went in to wake her up and this is what I found:

So precious.  I didn't hear her get out of bed again, but obviously she did.  And she made herself a little bed on the floor and got out her Book of Mormon to read.

Big Day

Today was a big day.  We started the day off by running through the water fountain at the Gateway shopping center.

 

After lunch, we took a trip to the Childrens' Hospital emergency room.  We usually let Alexis peel her own Cutie oranges.  This time, she stuck that little green bit up her nose.  We couldn't get it out.

 

Here she is watching Finding Nemo in the waiting room:
 

And here she is after they used a catheter to clear her nose:

She was very excited to get a popsicle and a stuffed animal.  The doctors and nurse were very impressed with Alexis because she didn't cry at all.  They wrapped her up like a mummy (so she couldn't move her arms), and then held her down on the bed while they stuck the catheter up her nose.  She looked scared, but she didn't cry.  I'm so proud of my brave girl.

That evening, we set up the sprinkler.  It was Alexis' first time running through a sprinkler.  After she got used to it, she loved it.

 

No more big days for a while, please.

I love her crazy "smile" faces.  They crack me up.

Riding in Style

Happy Easter!

Last night, Alexis dyed some Easter eggs for the Easter Bunny to hide.  She did a great job and then towards the end, I knocked over one of the cups.  So she finished up the job in just her panties.

 

This morning, Alexis was very excited to find her Easter basket full of goodies.

 

After church, we went on an Easter eggs hunt in the backyard.  Alexis loved it!
