So just to catch everyone up on what happened last week -- KK had a great week at school again. Wednesday was a little trying for me though when I went to pick her up. The teacher I could tell was a having a bad day, so I'm sure she didn't mean to come off the way she sounded -- let's just say, she acted as though I was lying about Kadence ever taking naps in the afternoon and I had to assure her that yes, at home she did in fact take naps, but it would take some time before she was comfortable taking one in a room with 8 other little kids. Needless to say, she got to play in the chapel a lot this week so that the other children could take them. She came home that day with the sniffles and I didn't think anything of it.
Well, Thursday was her usual play date with Dylan for the day. (See Dylan's Day letter at the bottom) I checked her temperature and she'd slept good through out the night, so we went along as planned. Around lunch time though, I got a call from Peggy saying that her temperature was at 100.7! KK's first little fever! I went and picked her up and after some Children's Advil and a nap, we were back down to 99.1 and then back to completely normal before bed. Glad we caught it in the butt when we did!
We left Friday morning to go to my folks house for the weekend -- Jason had to work, so it was a girl's only adventure. It didn't take long for her to fall asleep and believe me, when she did, it was peddle to the metal. We managed to make it in under 5 hours and she was definitely starting to get fussy towards the end. The weekend was great. Grampa got her an awesome little reclining chair! (I'll post picture soon) It's camouflage and has a little cup holder and everything! She LOVES the thing! I mean obsessed with it! She climbed right up in it and started flailing herself around in it and trying to climb over it. After a couple heart attacks on my part, we had to hide it for the rest of the weekend. Most definitely a supervised toy :) My mom got her the VTech Alphabet Train and she loves it too. She's played with one that her little friend has, but not for very long. She already had the hang of it though before we could even finish hooking it all up. All in all, it was a great 'second' Christmas for her! Driving home was a little wearing on me though -- she woke up way to early from her nap and preceded to scream the rest of the 2 hours home. I had to stop several times to make sure she didn't actually "need" something -- water, food, diaper, Orajel (yes, we're teething again..ugh), lovie, etc. Nothing. Not a darn thing. Luckily we both made it home in one piece and she was more than happy to be home and out of the car. Makes two of us.
She woke up this morning and still has a little bit of a runny nose, but no other cold symptoms. School was great..she's still learning baby sign language and I've started trying to use it more at home and make it part of her routine. She only had two other kiddos in class today. They had cupcakes and made little Valentines for the parents. Was totally cute! You guessed it though, she still didn't take a nap. Guess some things never change :)
