...Clara had a sudden fever yesterday (hence, the vomiting alllll over mommy picture). She woke up at 10:00 last night with a number I'd never seen on the thermometer before: 105.2
Oh, and she was complaining that her neck hurt.
Off to the pediatric ER we go.
Some zofran and motrin and a diagnosis of hand, foot and mouth (devil disease), and we were on our way home.
Yes, she is that cute.
...And now to figure out how to spend multiple days at home with a three year-old.
...well, one little girl started ballet
...and her brother looked on
...we bought a big girl bed on craigslist (score! vintage Jenny Lind bed!)
...and then a big whomp whomp whomp when we realized said bed also required a vintage mattress. At least she was still smiling about sleeping on the floor on her mattress and box spring
(Back to craigslist the Jenny Lind bed now goes).
...And with the big girl bed came the ceremonial throwing away of the titi (binky)
Why yes, that's a picture of our trash compactor. She has called, longingly, for titi about a dozen times this week. I have called, longingly, for titi about 1,490,298 times this week.
...Charlie started actual soccer games. These pictures pretty much sum up his interest (he's #6).
...His team is like the Bad News Bears. Clara tries to take everyone's mind off it
...We have been puzzling
...and more puzzling
...and working on our higher math in kindergarten
...working on the interactive white board
...catching a ride around school with his awesome OT
...and making fine art ("Man in Canoe")
...we went to Lego Brickfest
...Got caught jumping from the table to the couch
...and played superheroes
...we waited in the car for Charlie on our one day home without him
...got our first haircut
...vomitted allllllll over our mother
...and looked for other avenues for college scholarships, since soccer isn't looking like it's going to pan out
...all is well (well, except for the vomit but hopefully that's temporary).
...and it's only opening day.
Go Blue Ninjas!
...kindergarten!
...it's nice to go to a school where everybody already knows your name.
...and friendships are already formed.
...But here's to the new friendships and new adventures that await you, Charlie Bear.
...And here's to texts from my mom that put it all in perspective.
...We are all very, very haooy tonight.
