The Buckleys: Seeing spots!

Seeing spots!

Eleanore broke out in hives on New Year's Day. It was really strange she didn't eat anything new that we can think of, no new detergent, no new clothes but she got spots that look like these all over her body.

They didn't seem to irritate her too much and they're finally starting to go away, but I sure would like to know what caused it. Any ideas?

Ryan, Shayndel, & Kids said...: I want to know what the E.R. brother n' law thinks!!! YIKES!! That would freak me out too. My kids have had rashes, but none of them have had anything that looks that prominent thus far. Did she seem sick too?; January 5, 2009 at 1:42 PM
Sherry said...: My goodness. I'm getting itchy just looking at the pix. Did she get into any grass or weeds outside? Did anything bite her? It could really be any number of things. Hope she doesn't grow up with allergies. They can be a pain. Glad they're going away.; January 5, 2009 at 4:42 PM
Sarah said...: Geeze- that is freaky. I'm glad they are going away! They do look itchy or dry or something. Poor thing. Well- maybe it's for the best if you don't find out what it's from (just cuz' finding out might mean it happening again!); January 5, 2009 at 9:27 PM
* Nancy * said...: Did she have a high fever?
Gabe had something kind of similar, but his spots were bubbly like...it almost looked like he had a mosquito bite. The weird thing was that they would disappear and appear on a different spot, and sometimes really big. They didn't itch, but they would come and go for about three days. I noticed that he was getting these bubble like spots after his shots and he was running a fever.
I asked the nurse and she said that they were hives. They didn't look like El's if that is what hives look like.
Well at least they are going away and not sticking around. That is when I'd worry.; January 6, 2009 at 1:42 PM
Ashley said...: I was going to ask the same thing about the fever. Thomas gets that after a fever sometimes. I Think they call is rosieolis or something. Can't spell. Nothing to be alarmed about goes away in a few days. Hopefully it isn't anything more serious. Miss you guys, I need to call you it's been awhile.; January 7, 2009 at 11:07 PM
Celeste said...: I don't have any either. That is good she is getting better. The only thing I know about rashes is that kids get them a lot after a fever.; January 8, 2009 at 9:30 PM
Emily T. said...: Wow, no clue here. I hate when strange things happen to our kids. Freaks me out. Glad they're going away.; January 11, 2009 at 10:43 PM

I want to remember it like this...

October 2010:

Both Ivy and Maya say "Dada." Maya says in her growly voice a very clear, "DAD!" They are growing up too fast.

Eleanore likes to look in the mirror next to our table while we are eating dinner and she'll often talk to her reflection. She'll say things like "Who are you?" Yesterday she said, "Bananas smell good. Dirty socks don't smell good."

Eleanore dressed up like a fairy and announced "I am a Fairy Gospel."

In preperation for Halloween, Eleanore has been talking about all the things she could be and pretending to be many different Halloween-like characters including a nice witch and a mean witch. The nice witch laughs like this "HaHaHa" (high pitched and smiling. The mean witch laughs like this "HeHeHe" (low voice and scowl).

September 2010:

A friend of my mine stopped by to visit and she had her friend's son, Adam, with her. Throughout our hour-long visit Eleanore kept repeating "Adam was a prophet, first one that we know..." over and over. I kind of felt bad for the boy (who incidently is not a member of our church and doesn't know that Primary song), but it was pretty funny.

Eleanore has picked up on a few phrases that I use...that I think I picked up from my pops. "I'm exasperated." and "Oh Fiddlesticks." The latter really makes me think of my Dad.

After Bryan brushed Eleanore's hair she turned and said, "Thanks, Sweetie!"

August 2010:

Out of the blue (during a converstation lull...the girl doesn't like silence) Eleanore will often suggest, "Let's chat!"

Eleanore announces. "I know Portuguese." We ask, "Really, what?" "Portuguese!"

My new name: "Momster." Sometimes, even "Momsterarooski."

Eleanore loves to give giant hugs (just what they sound like), big smackarooskis (big kisses), and little mouse hugs (whe touches my shoulder with both hands and then busts up laughing).

July 2010:

Walking outside, Eleanore began narrating: "It was a beautiful summer day..."

A few months ago a man in our ward fell of the roof. We were talking about it because we were going to bring them dinner, and haven't really talked about it since. Today when El woke up from her nap she whispered, "Mom, someone fell off the roof." I asked who, totally not knowing what she was talking about. "Brother Dumm." She announced. It was actually a man named Brother Barrett, but Brother Dumm was sick at the same time and Bryan went to visit him the same day. What a memory she has.

June 2010:

I often tell Eleanore that if we watch too much TV our brains will get mushy. The other day I told her it was time to turn off the TV and she said, "Yes, my hair is mushy."

I told Eleanore that the babies didn't feel good. She said, "Mom, when I'm a grown up I can be a doctor and take care of them."

Eleanore asked what "No problem" means. I told her it meant you'd be glad to do it. Since then, I asked her if she would like to finger paint, she replied, "I'd be glad to do it." I got the same response when I asked if she wanted a piece of candy.

May 2010:

"[Ivy] is a precious girl. I feel that in my heart," Eleanore after kissing Ivy.

"My hair is not a toy Mom," Eleanore to Mom after sitting through three attempts at French braids.

"It's hard being a big sister," Eleanore.

"I love you, I love you, I really, really love you," Eleanore singing very seriously and loudly.

Eleanore asked to watch a t.v. show called Max and Ruby, I told her, "No, I don't like that show. " She responded, " Then you go away and I'll watch it. I like it."

January 2010:

"Babies poop a lot," Eleanore to Mom as I changed yet another diaper. "Babies cry a lot," Eleanore to Mom about five minutes later.
