1 More Tooth To Go

Day care went progressively better through out the week. On Thursday and Friday, Peanut received a sticker on her paper. I don't know that it means anything, but the stickers were noticeably absent in the beginning of the week. On Friday, Brandy, the fill-in teacher, had a lot to say about Peanut's progress. She said that she wasn't biting or fighting in the new class. She remarked on how funny it was to see all the kid's walk to the table and pull out their chairs to sit down when they saw her coming. She said Peanut gets excited when she see the blue plate because I guess Brandy always puts Peanut's food on a blue plate.

She also remarked on how she didn't think peanut was feeling well. I guess during her nap, she would cry out. Brandy would pat her on the back and say "shhh shhh shh" and tell her everything was going to be alright. I was glad to hear that she took the time to comfort my baby. Brandy always has something nice to say and on more than one occasion I have walked in to see her playing with Peanut. I like that Peanut has a buddy there.

Peanut's sleeping has been awful. She is waking 3 or 4 times a night. I took her to the doctor on Friday, and he said that she has fluid in her ears. He gave me a steroid spray to put up her nose to clear out her sinus to get things to drain a little better. He didn't say anything about tubes. I have been pumping Peanut full of motrin at night and putting numbing drops in her ears. I am trying not to give her motrin during the day because if she has a fever, I want to know about it. I don't want the motrin covering it up.

She has also recently cut 2 teeth. That leaves 1 more canine before we are done teething for a while. All she has left is her 2 year molars.

This week Peanut has added Thank you to the list of things she says all the time. It is funny because we haven't prompted her to say it all at. I guess she picks it up from us saying it to her. Of course she doesn't always use it appropriately, she says thank you when she hands us stuff or we hand her stuff. It is really cute because it doesn't sound like thank you, it sounds more like dan do. She has also added hi kitty and bye bye daisy.

Since peanut has not been sleeping well and is in pain most of the time, she has been a real pill to be with. The beauty of it is, she is only awful on my watch. She will be awesome with Mr. T., but as soon as she sees me, it is a cryfest. Not only crying and whining but wanting to be picked up and put down and then picked right back up again. She was better the later part of the day today, so hopefully, she is feeling better and will get lots of rest to meet and great the new week ahead.

This week I went to a big consignment sale. I scored a couple of great items. Above you see peanut sitting on her 20 dollar couch. It has already earned its money back. She uses it often to load and unload her babies into the the newish stroller I got her. She also tries to lay down on her couch, but ends up rolling onto the floor when she tries to get up with the blanket on her. uh-oh. My friend Judy told me to get the stroller. At first I didn't believe I wanted one, but after seeing Peanut with it, I am so glad I listened. Peanut rolls her stroller over to the couch and puts her pooh bear backpack and koala into it and rolls off. She even covers them up with a blanket. It is so cute.
