i'm not sure if i mentioned this the other day, but thalia had been having some really high fevers. so after being sent home from school for the second time, we decided to take her to the doc. chris was painting so i went...and of course her temp was normal and after we got home she was running around. so apparently, all you need to do when your kid can't break a fever is mention going to the doctor, and everything goes away!
anyway, the doctor (well, nurse practitioner) decided to run a flu test - just to be sure since she couldn't find anything else wrong. while we waited for the results (15 min) i was trying to keep thalia entertained. then the madness began!
everything started out fine...
papou showed her how to trace his hand once...now she just touches the pen in between fingers and says "all done"
mommy mistakenly turned her back to text everyone that the NP couldn't find anything. while my back was turned, thalia knocked the picture off the wall. you may be thinking, 'no big deal!' except all the paintings in this office are hand-painted on unfinished canvases. so when it dropped...
the wood frame bent. this is the best i could do...pretty obvious considering the mat is painted on the wall. although, probably the funniest part of this picture is little's face! totally on her own!sigh...such was our trip to doc. she still isn't quite herself but her fevers are gone. we think she is working on at least her two top eye teeth, so i think that's part of it. she also missed her nap yesterday, went to bed late, was up at 630 this morning, cried until 830 when i dropped her off at school - late just because that is my life these days, she technically missed breakfast but her teacher saved her a bowl. what an angel!
needless to say, it has still been a rough week. but we are making progress...thanks for your prayers and support!
much love and a bit more sleep (after 4 nights in bed with us, thalia spent the whole night in her own bed!)
