It turns out that we didn't have to do a "test run" of the Benadryl -- we had a true medical reason to give Paras the drug after we went to the beach last Saturday and he broke out in hives all over his body, we think from the sand. Very strange because it wasn't his first time at the beach, or at the particular beach that we visited. I really hope that Paras isn't allergic to beaches generally, that would really suck as a kid. Especially because he had so much fun. Andy I were so relieved -- we thought he wold be scared of the water, but he went right up to the water and even dipped his toes in a bit. Mostly, though, he played in the sand, as you can see from the following video:
Sahana had a pretty good day at the beach also, though it was hard to get her in a comfortable position because it was so hot and sunny and I was trying to keep her in the shade. She was also a little bit cranky because of her shots he day before. We've noticed that Sahana is very picky about when and where she eats and naps. Paras was like a robot and would take his naps wherever we were, and wolf down his bottles. Sahana can't seem to take good naps in the carseat (isn't that what they're for?) and eats very poorly f we try to feed her outside the house. So she didn't feed well at the beach and basically didn't nap all day, but thankfully she still slept all night so it was good.
Tomorrow we leave to visit my sister in Dallas. Paras is excited to see his cousins, who are 11, 7, and 4 1/2 years old. He'll have good company. I'm hoping that Sahana can adjust to the one-hour time change and the new sleeping arrangements for a week. We'll have more pictures when we get back!
