Allergist and A Museum

We started the morning bright and early, dragging Savannah out of bed, and being ready to leave the house by 7:30. Dave was able to go into work a little later this morning and was a big help in getting Savannah ready . . . on his way downstairs he realized that he may have things a little backwards with her dress that I had set out for him. Check out this half asleep baby with her dress on all backwards!

We made it out of the house in plenty of time and only missed a couple of turns as we braved uptown traffic. The appointment went really well and the allergist was great. We learned a lot and ended up finding out that she's not allergic to anything! Because we really have her "allergies" under control with Benadryl, the doctor recommended that we stick to that plan instead of going to test B, which involved needles and lots of pain. So, instead here is a picture of the test that she had. It was only contact skin testing, which is still more effective than the blood test, according to our doctor. However, with opting out of the second skin test where they inject allergens under your skin with needles, there is still a 20% chance that we missed something she's allergic to. For now, I'm satisfied. We survived 15 minutes of keeping her from scratching her back and that was plenty for one day.

Then we headed the Mint Museum of Craft and Design where they were having a special kids program today. What a fun way to spend our morning, especially since we were already uptown. Savannah made a neat craft and then we toured the museum. We left after getting yelled at for using flash photography and for letting her sit on one of the displays, but it was a fun outing!
