Sick Day

Kate hasn't been feeling well and we had a rough couple of nights, so I took the day off to take her to the doctor.

It was SOOO nice to be able to be at home with her today.

Turns out she has a little ear infection. She's on an antibiotic now and hopefully, that'll clear it right up!

She feels kinda puny, but she's still the crazy, active, 17 month old we all love! Just with more snot and a crazy cough.

After her appointment, we went to Walgreens to fill her prescription and they said it would be about 45 minutes, so I took her to the Pasta House for lunch. Just me and my girl.

After I ordered, she took my menu and handed it to the waiter like she does this all the time. When he would come over to us, she would throw her hands up and mutter some jibberish just carrying on a little conversation with him. She fell in love with one of the waitresses and waved at her everytime she walked by our table.

She was such a big girl sitting there eating her lasagna. She drank her lemonade perfectly through the straw without spilling any. If you've ever been out to eat with Kate, you know that's a big deal because of course, she wants to do it BY HERSELF and ends up tipping the cup to drink through the straw... thus getting it all over her.

When I told her I would put a little butter on her roll, she picked up my knife and handed it to me. Seriously??? I swear the girl knows how to talk, and she's just holding it in 'cause she sure does understand a lot of language!!

AND, I let her go to town on her lasagna by herself and she would take a few bites, then pick up her napkin and wipe her own face... all prim and proper like. I laughed out loud on that one.

She was pooped and ready for a nap by the time we were done, so we picked up her prescription and headed home.

She took a great 3 hour long nap, during which I tackled about 5 loads of laundry and got my kitchen back in order!!

Oh, and see that little note there on the microwave?? That's the only way we will actually remember to give her the medicine. We're cool like that.

She woke up feeling pretty yucky, but walked over to the laptop and wiggled her booty. That's her way of telling us she wants to watch The Wiggles You Tube videos. The girl is OBSESSED!! I hear those guys in my sleep...

So, she got all cozy in our big chair with warm juice and rice cakes.

I said, "Say cheese!" and she showed me her rice cake instead. ha!

I left the room to go wipe down the bathroom and when I came back in, THIS is how she was now watching The Wiggles.

Let's not tell Daddy how she was "handling" the laptop, okay??
