Energy-Round 2

We like to stay active and busy while burning off all that built up winter energy. So this morning, after a quick visit to the doctor and a stop to pick up some antibiotics for a suspected ear infection (more on that later), we headed over to Pump It Up to just P-L-A-Y!! Regan's eyes lit up as we entered the room with giant inflatable slides and bounce houses. It got even bigger when she saw room #2 with more of the same! With dad at work today, I was on double duty chasing these two girls; but boy, did we have fun!!
Sidney preferred the bounce houses over the slides; she requires a bit of help climbing the steep stairs of the slides but is much more independent in the houses. Poor kid has had a rough week with lack of sleep and tugging at ears. Unfortunately, (and fortunately) she has tubes. The pediatrician wasn't able to see inside her ears because of some build-up and he wasn't able to clean it out because she squirms and screams and there's a chance he could damage the tubes while attempting such a thing. He then told me it would require more surgery if he would damage the tubes....no thank you! Because we all suspect an infection, he was nice enough to write out a prescription seeing as though her ENT's office is closed today.
Back to the bounce house, Regan sure can get some good "air"!! She was practicing her gymnastics and what she has been learning to do on the trampoline. It's so fun to watch her incorporate her extracurricular activities into her everyday play! That's what it is all about!
Here's to a very quiet house over nap time.....I hope!
