So the trip was going well, right up to the point where we entered Houston. Ashlyn, as many people do when they first enter Houston, got sick to her stomach. As adults, we can hold back the nausea by reminding ourselvse that we'll be leaving Houston soon, but Ashlyn is young and doesn’t have that advantage. So her lunch left her stomach and ended up on her, her car seat, her toys, and other things in the back seat. Thanks Houston!
After a quick cleanup in a Taco Cabana parking lot, we celebrated with our friends. Ashlyn didn't get sick again, we had a good time, and before we left we had breakfast with some friends where we learned that Ashlyn apparently likes biscuits.
And that was our Houston trip. We didn’t take many pictures while we were there, so I’ll end the post with some random pictures taken this week.
Here’s one of Ashlyn getting a kick out of the Caprisun juice container. She’s trying to get the straw in there, but hasn’t managed it yet.
And this was our attempt at getting Ashlyn to do her part around the house. It didn’t work.
And this is Ashlyn learning to throw a ball. It’s hard to tell, but the ball is actually in the air after she threw it.
In other news, Ashlyn is now able to pick out shape cutouts and bring them back to you. You can point to a square on a board, and she’ll go across the room to pick up the square shape and bring it back. She enjoys the game, and it’s a great learning experience.
Only a few words added this week:
