Going to the Doctor


Hey Everybody!  Ellen Here!

This morning Mama told me that I got to go to the doctor again, I thought it was kind of crazy because I was just there the other day, but she knows what's best, so I just went along with it.

I have been to the doctor a LOT this year!  When we went the other day Mama told the doctor about how I have had an ear infection almost every month since I was only a couple months old.  My tummy doesn't like all of the antibiotics so Mama decided there had to be a better solution so she talked to my doctor and they agreed that I need tubes.

I quickly realized that this wasn't going to be a normal trip to the doctor.  When we got there Mama had to fill out a lot of paperwork, and then they gave me a silly outfit to wear!  I really liked playing with the hat, and the shoe covers, though they were a little big for my feet.

It was also special because Mama told me that I could bring my blankie!  I REALLY love my blankie, but Mama says I have to leave it in my room and I certainly can't take it outside with me.

Mama got a special outfit too, the doctor told me that Mama was going to look like a big marshmallow!  Before putting the outfit on Me and Mama had to get a selfie  :-)

That is when it all went south...Mama carried me back to another room, it was cold and there were LOTS of people in there that I didn't know.  They all wanted to talk to me, I just wanted Mama to turn around.

A little while later I realized that I had a moment of weakness and I fell asleep!  Worse yet, Mama was gone.  There were lots of really nice nurses there who were trying to make me feel better, but all I wanted was my Mama.

After a little bit I convinced the nurses that I wasn't going to stop crying until they brought me back to Mama.  My doctor said I was pretty special, one of the nurses rode on the bed with my on her lap when they took me back to Mama, the sweet nurse felt so bad.

Once I was back with Mama I was a lot happier, but I really just wanted to leave.  The nurses kept bringing me snacks and drinks, but I REFUSED to eat them, I would only take stuff that Mama brought me from home.

Mama says my ears will feel better now.  By lunch time I was back to new and having a great time.  Grandma Nancy came over to hang out with Linden for her Halloween party so we got to eat lunch with her too.

Have a great Halloween!

Feeding my Puppies


Hey Everybody!! Ellen here!

Did you know that I have a job?  I get to feed my puppies every night!  Well, not actually both of my puppies, my job is to feed Bella!

Bella is a super great waiter while I am pouring her food into her bowl.

I am extra careful to make sure that every single piece gets into her bowl, even if it falls on the floor first.

Once the food is in her bowl the job is not done.  I have to collect both of the scoops...

and put them back into the food container!

The most important part of my job is making sure that the food container gets shut so Jake doesn't get in there and eat all of the food.

I take my job very seriously and get REALLY mad when daddy feeds them without letting me help.

Have a great night!
Ellen

Nice to Meet You, Farmer John!

I got to go on my first field trip today!!  Our class took a trip to Farmer John's Pumpkin Patch!
 
Farmer John and Farmer Jan were super nice and taught us all sorts of things about their pumpkin farm.  They have over 40 kinds of pumpkins, including pink ones!!

Their yard has tons of fun stuff to play on.  Farmer John was able to fit all 23 people in my class into this strawberry!!

Farmer John taught us a new game, Ring Around the Ghostie! 

Farmer John had a bunch of animals too.  We all really liked the chickens, but the rooster was WAY too loud! 

He also had a big vegetable garden.  He showed us all sorts of plants, broccoli, kale, corn, cabbage...

and potatoes!

I was pretty excited that Mama got to go with on my field trip, but of course, that means that she needed to take a LOT of pictures of me...

I sure am getting big!

Mama took pictures of my friends too, she snuck this in while Farmer John was carving a pumpkin for our class.

Isn't that a great pumpkin!

We are working hard to get decorated and ready for Halloween, hope you are enjoying this great weather!
