Pollen makes my Blue Eyes Puff


Poor Bowen. This has not been a good Spring for him. We took him to the doctor after a few sleepless coughing nights. He has horrible allergies! (Look at those puffy eyes.) The doctor told me to keep him inside as much as I can and to put him in sunglasses and a mask if I take him out for any amount of time. So, the first adventure was Kate's soccer practice. I planned to keep him in the car, got to the practice early so I could have the best parking place and see Kate and Bowen in the car. Clair tried so HARD to entertain him, but he just wanted to get out and play! So, after 30 minutes of him being mad and mean, I decided to put him in his allergy get-up and take him for a walk in his stroller. So, with sunglasses and "surgical" mask on we attempted a walk. He screamed so much that everyone was looking. I felt like a freak show! Then I realized he totally looked like a mini Michael Jackson with mask and glasses on! Oh dear...we were a freak show! I quickly put him back in the car and let him cry the last 10 minutes. I am sure the tears were good to clean out his puffy allergy eyes! :)

WOW! Bowen looks so funny in his sun glasses and mask. I know he didn't like the mask....I don't like wearing that kind of a mask. I hope he hurries and get that out of his system soon. Love, Oma
