Thanks to an unnamed snot nosed germspreader who will remain unnamed, both Debbie and Lillian have been stricken with nasal congestion. For an adult, nasal congestion is usually no big deal - take some Sudafed and blow your nose and dverything is ok. For an infant who hasn’t mastered the art of breathing with her mouth and who forms an air-tight seal when she eats, it’s so miserable that she can barely sleep. Couple this with the fact that Lillian is teething badly and you have a kid who wasn’t sleeping much tonight.

To combat the teething Debbie found an over the counter homeopathic remedy called Teething Tablets. Two dissolved under an infant’s tongue is supposed to cut down on the pain and sooth a baby enough to sleep. Debbie headed off to the alternate-world Walgreens at around 10:30pm while I watched Lillian as she slept in her swing while watching the Calm baby DVD. When debbie returned with the tablets we put one under her tongue and dissolved the other in water and administered it by dropper. Within about 30 minutes she was fats asleep. These things appear to work although Debbie was a bit nervous since we didn’t get our pediatrician’s OK first.

Yesterday ratface and his art crew had me running around taking photos of both the liquor clown and the Twin Lights in Highlands. I think they’ll be using it in some kind of collage in the movie. Here are two of my favorites:
