My own R&R

Before I forget, Anna's newest words: steeberries (strawberries she had last night for dinner, yum!), siren (wee-oo-wee-oo), socksnshoes (socks and shoes. She's always said socks and always said shoes but now it's socknshoes!).

Her ear didn't seem to be as messy this morning. She slept all night (night #2). Thanks to my mommy peeps encouraging me to try the Vick's on the feet thing, I gave it another shot even though it didn't seem to work last week. I'm not sure if it worked last night but all was quiet. It seemed to work when she was a baby the few times we tried it. Or again, maybe just coincidence. Regardless, last night her bath was in mentholated J&J, and she got Vicks on the feet and chest. She fought going to sleep (screamed) for about 3 min then not another peep. Score!

Again, this morning the cough ticked her off, as well as the fact that she was wearing long sleeves. She must get that part from her daddy. But the congestion was minimal.

I fought a fever all day at work yesterday and right now I am about to get a little rest at home before my afternoon with her starts because when the fever hits, it's no fun.

I found a new CD with some of Anna's favorites and I played a preview for myself in the car yesterday before I picked her up. Is it screwy to have been so excited about playing it for her?
