Well nothing major to report. The last couple weeks have been fairly uneventful. Last Sunday E woke up with a fever but was still in a great mood all day. She wasn't coughing or stuffy nosed hardly at all. Other than the fever she was great. Called the clinic Monday morning, took 10 minutes to get through to the switchboard without a busy signal. Than another 30 minutes on hold. The earliest appointment we got was 3:15 in the afternoon. Again she was feeling pretty good and still acting relatively normal. Got to the clinic and of course the first thing you do is santize your hands and put on a face mask if you have a fever. Cute little mask for E but of course she wanted nothing to do with it. Mr. Bear wore it more than she did. The lab came to our exam room and did the strep test right there. We didn't have to leave the room at all. Note to self, next time bring books and toys to clinic as the room was stripped bare (to make it easy to sanitize). But 30 minutes of waiting with a toddler and the only things she can reach are the swivel chair and the computer keyboard. Long 30 minutes...Doctor came back and was surprised when she told us E was postive for Strep. I was of course thrilled. Rather have a bacterial infection we can treat with antibiotics than a virus we just have to let run its course. Either way I wasn't too concerned as she was still acting like a Bookie. Completely normal. Very little coughing. Hardly acting like a sick kid at all.
So anyway, here we are a week later and she is a toddler through and through. She and I walked to our little park yesterday after we got home from shopping at the mall. She played peek-a-boo with me and then went down the slide a few times. We then walked on the trail looking for birds/ducks. She needs a reason to walk on our trail and we have to look for something for her to willingly walk there. Crazy kid... She carried a dead dandilion flower with her the whole way. Dropped the first one and had to go back to the park to find a second one to take back to Daddy. She is just too cute sometimes.
She finally has her normal appetite back. She is eating like a typical toddler this weekend. I am so thankful that she likes most anything we offer her. The only thing we have a hard time with is meat, like normal meat off a bone or hamburger. She did however eat some taco meat the other day for the first time. She is also so impressionable right now when it comes to food and table dining. Today (late lunch) Daddy pushed away his plate and declared he was done and E proceeded to do the same. As soon as Daddy pulled his plate back adn took another bite, so did she. She wants us to join her in so many things. She wants us to color with her and eat with her. Of course usually for breakfast if we just ignore her while she is eating she will eat so well. Crazy how that works.
Speaking of crazy right now she has her head inside a shoe box making noises. The things she does to entertain herself are just out of this world sometimes.She loves to dance around also to vairious types of music.Which is why I had to get her this shirt when I saw it. When she rides with Daddy, they jam out to Poison and other rock music. So she can be a rock and roll princess anytime. She has such a good time with Daddy, too bad it gets to be such a chore for him to take care of her once in a while. He watched her this last Friday cause she got sick Thursday night after I put her to bed. While she had no fever and it could have been any one hundred and one things that could have caused her to vomit, we decided that she should stay home from daycare that day. They had a good time that day and she had a nice long nap so Daddy had plenty of time to himself.
