well, we finally had to break out the good ol suction machine. i thought that we might be done with it - but kaiya's lil nose was all crusted and full of boogers this morning so we got to the business of sucking them out with our trusty tool. i've been worried that kaiya might be getting a cold or something just because she has been out of sorts. she has had the whole week off of school and she pretty much just ate and slept. she would play for awhile and then all of a sudden we would turn around and she would be passed out. not like the little princess at all. so i guess it was no surprise to see the first signs of a cold. kaiya doesn't really like having anything put near her face unless she is the one in control so there was a lot of the smacking and pulling at mommy's hands - but once i get her hands out of the way and get down to business she just giggles. i have to admit, i tried the machine once just to see if it hurt - and it tickles like crazy so it's no wonder that she gets the giggles. thinking about her getting sick caused me to check the cabinets for medicine, if she should need it. and that's when i realized that we don't even have any children's tylenol or motrin or anything for her. kaiya's mommy isn't all that big on doling out the medicine anyway...but it just goes to show how lucky we are that she is as healthy as she is. i can't even remember the last time i had to give her tylenol or motrin. i usually have benedryl or something on hand (more because she get's eaten alive by mosquitos in the summer time and has nasty allergic reactions) but even that was out of date. heaven forbid the kid wakes up with a fever in the middle of the night. mommy would be dashing out to the 24 hour walgreens in her jammies with a crazy haired sick kid by her side. not a pretty picture :(
on a good note, we had a wonderful thanksgiving dinner. the food was excellent and some of kaiya's most favorite things were there. mashed potatoes and gravy, sweet potatoes with butter and brown sugar, turkey....nana sure knows how to cook an excellent meal :)
kaiya is definitely thankful for all of the friends that she has made and hopes everyone has a great holiday season.

Just checking in to see little one and how she is doing with her cold. You are lucky with the meds. but I dont' think Annabel has much as others. Glad you had a good thanksgiving.
love every pix in your slide show...upload some more? she's got an attitude I absolutely love!
I just found your blog. I love seeing children once referred to as incompatible with life living life to the full and bringing joy to their families. What a blessing she is. Our son had Trisomy 18 but only lived a short time. I have a special place in my heart for and like to cheer on the babes who are still showing off to those Drs. :) God Bless you all.
