Memorial Weekend
We have had quite a weekend. It started on Friday with a change of our outdoor plans because of rain and then a complete cancellation of the plans. The new plan was to get to the doctor's. Elliana had been sick for a few days, but then electrocuted herself. However when we arrived at the doctors, they were not so concerned with Elliana, who has a bad virus (maybe hand, foot and mouth) and just a good shock. The real concern was Andy. He is now on an inhaler for wheezing. He has cut back on the wheezing, but it is still continuing tonight. Back to Elliana, her ears are looking better so she may not need to replace her tubes, we will have to wait and see.
Except for passing the cold around between friends, Elliana had a pretty good Saturday and Sunday. Monday was another story. We got up real early (Elliana was already awake, of course) and headed down town. We walked in the "Hunger Walk" for the food pantries in Cincinnati. After carrying Elliana for the last mile and a half, she took a very short nap on the way home. With a quick bite to eat, she was sent to her room for a long nap.
Before I continue the story, I need to share a side story...
Elliana has been sleeping in a toddler bed for the last week. It took a couple of nights before she would even sleep in it. The floor was the preferred place. But now she is back in the bed, until the first light or sound...then she proceeds to play, read books, sing, put on all her pjs, empty all her socks on the floor, and just all around amuse herself.
Okay, back to the story...
She went to her room for a nap, but after an hour of not sleeping, I went to get her. There was an odor upon opening the door. Elliana had pooped in her diaper and thought she would help us out by changing it herself. However, the wipes were too high for her to reach. So she left a spot everywhere she sat which apparently was just about everywhere.
Without a nap, she was very tired and cried the rest of the afternoon. She is now sleeping, in her bed, and has been since 6:30. Hopefully she makes it all night!
