03.07.11: Sick Day | Well Day

Dear Friends and Family,

After a week of misery, P slept in on Sunday until 8-something in the morning and emerged her usual, happy self. I noticed four prominent eye teeth that had been slowly poking through and a stunning leap in her ability to memorize her books. It's making it tough to know which words she's learned and which ones she's memorized. Oh, the problems we deal with.

On the gross motor front, she loves to run, she still likes to dance, and she's been trying to jump lately - getting no vertical, but putting a lot of effort into it all.

P lost 7.5% of her body weight last week and now fits into her 9 month old clothing again. Let me clarify - it's 9 month sized clothing which she probably wore when she was over a year old. But, either way, it's coming in handy because we need the onesies for an altogether different reason. P picked up butt scratching from a friend at school and has several scratch marks on her cheek. The onesies keep her from being able to scratch. Excellent. Nothing more attractive than a girl with her hand stuck in her pants scratching at her butt.

Oh, and we made some capital improvements this weekend. I bought a toy organizer on Friday and assembled it on Saturday. It keeps the floor clear, but does seem to compartmentalize the toys which may discourage P from throwing it all on the floor and letting her creative juices flow. We'll see how next weekend's play goes.


Cheers!
