all aboard!


A while back I posted about a stye I had developed in my eye. It was incredibly painful and uncomfortable. Guess who has one again? I have no idea what the deal is. They are typically caused by dust/dirt in the air or a foreign substance/bacteria that gets into your eye. I must admit it gets pretty windy where we live. I also received a facial a few days ago...maybe some goop got in there? To be honest, I don't really care where this thing came from, I just want it to go away. Anyway, it hurts my eye for wind to blow on it so I couldn't take my daily walk with Cam today. Hmmm...how to fill the time staying in doors? It is amazing how creative you can get in trying to entertain a baby. Let's see...laundry basket...some rope...I know, a boat ride!! Yes, this afternoon was Cam's first time in his "boat". I pulled him all around and he loved it. He was so content. His favorite part of the ride was when we would pass by a certain wall hanging (or as I like to call it, a "point of interest on the trip"), which would make him break into a huge grin. I would talk to him while he rode saying things like, "Now we are passing the washing machine and dryer" or, "Keep those hands in the boat as we head through the doorway!" Did I get bored pulling him around for 1/2 an hour? Maybe a little. Was it worth it? If he is happy...anything is worth it.

Try wearing some Goggles on your walk... That should keep the wind and dirt out of your eyes..
Is it as bad as the last one?

Oh, how cute! You're such a good mommy!!! I know it's fun to see him break into a smile when he passes that wall hanging!

The goggles idea is a great one. Who cares how you look at 6 am anyway. He looks so cute in his "boat". We used to do that in the floppy bean bag chair with Chris. It is tiring. Now Cam's going to expect a walk AND a boat ride every morning - ha! I hope you get some encouraging news from the eye specialist today.

So cute, I can totally imagine your "tour guide voice" as you pull him around, haha. Can't wait to see the photo of you with goggles. :)
