"A Dazning Place"



When Tristan sings "A Whole New World" she says dazning instead of dazzling. It's pretty sweet! We thoroughly enjoyed our week in Florida. I'm sorry it's taken me so long to write about it! I don't have all my photo pass pictures back yet, so I'll post more of those later!


On the Thursday before we left Preston started to sound a little wheezy to me, but he acted fine, so I didn't worry much. I'm not the rush to the doctor kind of mother...I'm the wait and see if it works itself out kind! At 15mo Preston had never really been sick or taken any kind of medicine (other than for allergies). Friday he sounded a little worse, but still not bad. We left for the airport at 5:45 Saturday morning, and he had pretty much lost his voice. It was pretty sad, but it made for a much quieter trip. (Preston is a talker!!) He was still acting like he felt fine, and by Monday he was barely coughing at all.


Tristan however was not herself on Monday. I could just tell she didn't feel good. That night she was burning up with fever. It continued through the night and into the next morning. We decided we'd better take her to a care center and check her out. Keep in mind that she's over three and has only had one ear infection and taken antibiotics once!


Since we were going anyway we figured we might as well have the doctor listen to Preston's chest even though he was back to his usual self. After three hours in the care center, we learned that both of Preston's ears were terribly infected, one of Tristan's was and the other was on it's way!! They both started a round of antibiotics that day.


The illness definitely put a damper on our fun as Tristan just wasn't herself. Preston however had a glorious time. He rode rides with me that Tristan wouldn't and had a blast! Tristan wasn't 100% by the princess lunch, but I think she still enjoyed it. When we entered Cinderella's Castle, she sat up tall and whispered, "It's a dazning place." And it was.
