Barking Seal

by Kristi on September 18, 2007



My poor Sammie sounds like a little seal. Croup cough! I used to get that cough ALL THE TIME. It was awesome, I’d sound awful and my Mom would come running in and exclaim all over me and say I should stay home from school. 🙂 And then it would mysteriously go away a few hours later and I had a nice day off. heehee – After that happening tons of times my Mom finally would ask me, “What do YOU think you should do? Do YOU think you should stay home because you are to sick to go to school?” That was the worst cause I would have to think about it and then say, well I can PROBABLY go to school… when I really wanted to stay home!

So, we were drinking her morning bottle and she started coughing and choking. And it kept on and on and on, and I took away the bottle and she started yelling at me but she wouldn’t stop coughing! Once she slowed down, I tried to give it back to her but then she pushed it away and kept coughing and coughing. Then she threw up. Ick. At least it was mostly milk. And she kept screaming cause I would clean off her hand and move to something else then she would put it down right into her clothes where it was sticky again. Sheesh.

Anyway, we have a seal in the house. Bark bark. Hopefully it gets better tonight.

Friday was nice, we went to the Fiesta. Stayed just a short bit. Sam LOVED the funnel cake. She was cracking us up. She would have little bites that we set out for her but finally she started grabbing the big stuff and we were helping her. There was two big chunks left and she was pulling one of them apart and eating it and she was just LOOKING at us while she ate it. Like she wasn’t sure if we were going to tell her to stop or not.

So she started grabbing more and more with both hands shoving it into her mouth as fast as she could! As she grabbed the last of it, with a full mouth, she started signing and saying ‘More More More!’ – hahahahha. So classic.

Saturday we went to the mall, got some errands done. She had a short nap.

Sunday we went to Disneyland for a few hours! Visited Tom Sawyer’s Island, or whatever it’s called now, and then went on the Carousel, which she loves. Then headed home after lunch. We got started late. She then proceeded to sleep 3 1/2 hours!!! Then we went to Grandma’s to say Bon Voyage to Roy who is going to England for the year to participate in a writing school.

Today Grandma took her for the morning and brought her home ASLEEP! What a joy. LOL – She slept for almost 3 hours after running around with Grandma. When she woke up she was a nightmare though, as she usually is after naps lately. And sadly, with her seal bark she sounded worse… Sob sob sob BARK! And just wouldn’t stop. 🙂 Oh well. She stopped eventually after a lot of holding and running around the house for what she MIGHT have wanted but she kept changing her mind. 🙂 Finally we got in the car and watched Elmo and I mailed a package and went to check on the mail at my Mom’s house.

Fun fun. Papa and Sammie are at the park now. I think I ate TO MUCH tonight cause I feel ICKY! Big full tummy, LOL.
