Aw Nuts

Hey everyone,

Last Sunday my mom and dad thought they'd make me a PB&J sandwich. They had given me a peanut butter cookie a week or so earlier, and I liked it.

As for the sandwich, I wasn't crazy about it. I spit out the two or three bites mom gave to me. Then, about 5 minutes later my mom noticed a hive on my nose. Then another on my cheek.

Next thing I knew I was up at Primary Children's Med Center with a swollen face and eyes, along with some labored breathing.

Long story short, I had a pretty severe allergic reaction to the peanuts. And I had to stay the night at the hospital.

Everything is OK now though. I just have to be careful. On Monday I have to go to an allergy specialist to get tested--just to make sure I'm not allergic to anything else.

I'll report back if they find anything.

Free Swim

On Saturday, I went to the Fairmont Aquatic Center for my first swimming lesson. At first I wasn't too sure about this whole water thing. Frankly, it freaked me out. But, after the group took a little lap around the pool I relaxed a bit and enjoyed moving through the water.

I still don't really like floating on my back. And don't even think of letting my head go under water. But hopefully, after a few lessons, I'll know I can trust my dad not to let go of me and it will all be fun.
