I heard on the Today Show (reliable source, right?) that this year is one of the worst for allergies. They actually called it a "Pollen Tsunami". Ha! Cooper doesn't always have major issues with allergies, but I notice his eyes get puffy when the dandelions come out every spring. This year though, has been terrible for him!
His first symptom was the red, swollen, itchy eyes...
Then his nose started running non-stop! And the sneezing...he was even sneezing in his sleep! :(
We've started giving him children's Zyrtec every day. And that, along with some essential oil combinations recommended by Derek's Mom are helping him out a bunch. We've also finally had rain which calmed the yellow dust I see settling on everything.
When Derek rubs oil on his feet, Cooper giggles uncontrollably because it tickles!
Miles wanted some just for fun... really I think he just wanted tickled!
Poor Cooper! We feel his pain here at our house. This has been an awful spring for allergies. Ryan and I both take Zyrtec everyday to make it better.
