Two of the Sweetest Feet

The sight of these little feet make me smile. I absolutely love how she stands on her tippy toes when she's on her stool. It reminds me of a little red stool that I had at my Granny's house. It had a little rhyme painted on it and all I remember is one part about "reaching things I couldn't and other things I shouldn't". That's Erin.

My Kid has WHAT?!?

Does this little girl look sick to you?

What about this little girl?

Or maybe this little girl??

On Monday, Erin's daycare called and said she had a temperature of 102.8 under her arm and we needed to pick her up. Tony got her and took her straight to Dr. Frank's office. He said she might have a slight ear infection. This is our first ear infection. Ever. Okay, I can deal with that. But then, about 20 minutes later the results from the flu test were ready. She. Has. The. Flu. Yep, the FLU. She was absolutely lethargic Monday evening. The pictures above were taken about 24 hours after the doctor visit. She's a completely different child today. She's playing with her toys, playing chase with us, and generally having a great time.

I've always known that kids can act fine when they're sick. But this kid has totally amazed me. We have been blessed in so many ways.

Erin Turns Two

We celebrated Erin's second birthday yesterday at Mimi and Papa's house. We ate dinner and chocolate cake and Olivia helped Erin open presents. These are a few of the pictures we took...I can't believe my baby girl is 2.

She wasn't quite sure what we were all doing staring at her and this cake. She was sure, though, that she would get to eat some.

Getting ready to blow out her candle...

And getting to dig in. This kid lives for sweets. I think she dreams of cookies.
