Where Has Time Gone?

Since my last post, life has been one crazy trip. We have picked and re picked schools out for L. I went to check out our first choice last week. It is a wonderful school and the principal was so nice. I am crossing my fingers that L gets into it! In the meantime, we've been amazed at her. She is starting to read some words. Some I get (dog, cat), but yesterday we were waiting in line and she read the word cookies (with no sight prompting). I was impressed. We are working on teaching L to tie her own shoes. It's the only thing she hasn't mastered on the kindergarten list.

L has been sick off and on this week. She came home Wednesday with a 102 temp. She was fine an hour later. She stayed with Linda Thursday and played all day with their kitten, Lily. She went back to school Friday. I get the call at 4 pm that her throat is sore and they've had a strep outbreak so I needed to pick her up. I didn't think much about it (except for the hassle of getting her...I still had patients to see). When I got her, I asked her to stick out her tongue...and there were white spots on her throat! Oh no! So I call her doctor who graciously let me bring her in and run a strep screen. And yes, my patients were still waiting for me. Good news, no strep. Just a virus. And she's been good all day today.

Yesterday was a beautiful day so L and I took the stroller out to do a little retail therapy. Grandma Linda gave us some Gymbucks so we bought L new clothes, swimsuit, hat and purse. I bought soap at Bath and Body Works. We stopped at the pet store and found some toys for Haley and Reggie. They were happy campers! We capped the night off with dinner and game night at the Loving's. It was a great evening and we got to know Emily and Mike better.

Today was super productive. I have almost my whole to do list done. I got several need to do jobs done and the house is looking cleaner. So now we're off to go soak in the hot tub. Hopefully this week will be a little more low keyed. I'm taking Tuesday off to get L's teeth fixed. I hope that goes really well. Will blog after it's done.
