A Long Night...

Yesterday, I got a call from Graisi's school nurse saying she wasn't feeling well. Her throat, head and stomach hurt. She said there were a couple of kids from her class out with strep throat, so I feared the worse. Her teacher also emailed me and said she let her stay in the class and rest at recess. She said Graisi wanted to stay for the remainder of school but she'd probably need some medication when she got home. So, what would you expect to see when she got off the bus...a sickly child who didn't feel well??? NOPE...she bounced (literally) off the bus steps, ready to play with the neighborhood kids. She said while she was resting all of her symptoms disappeared. Can you say, "DRAMA QUEEN"??

Well, Martin and I had been asleep for about 10 minutes when our door opened. It was Graisi holding her shirt. She had gotten sick in her bed and needed our help to get cleaned up. She wasn't sick...just started coughing really hard and made herself sick. OH....the drama!

We tried feeding Alli Claire AGAIN last night with no success. She just isn't ready and wants NO part of it. So we're going to wait a month or two and see what she wants to do then. She's certainly NOT starving with her 20lb self! Her stuffy nose is also getting much better.
