Full Blown SMS

So, yesterday Sophia woke up well rested and I could tell she was feeling much better. Unfortunately, I was feeling awful. I actually feel worse today: totally drained of energy, stuffy nose, achy, ears are popping, low grade fever, throat hurts, and the list goes on... A definite case of SMS...Sick Mom Syndrome.

Will actually came home early from work yesterday so I could go to the medical center down the street to get tested for strep throat. And, the answer is yes, I have it too. In fact, I think the entire city of Virginia Beach has it. I overheard a mom on the phone yesterday at the medical center and she said that 80% of her son's school has strep.

Yesterday was the first day that Sophia actually took a nap, so I knew that she was feeling better. It was a beautiful 4 hour nap.

Swimming classes started this morning. We went. Sophia had a blast. She was a little unsure about leaning all the way back and getting her hair wet but she was thrilled to sit on the steps and then jump into the water. She also really wants to learn how to blow bubbles, but can't quite figure out how to keep her mouth closed. Today when she tried she took a big gulp of water, but that didn't seem to deter her. I thought all that water play would make her a bit sleepy, but she refused to nap when we got home.

Since it's 75 degrees today we took Sadie to the playground and she almost escaped from me. Well, she did escape. She weaseled her way through a fence and was on the side walk of London Bridge Road by herself! I literally had to pretend I needed help and was shaking the chain link fence to get her attention so she would come back. Once I got her attention I took off running away from her and she dutifully came running to save me. I'm sure Sophia thought our "show" was awesome as she sat in the swing eating her Teddie Grahams.

When we got home, she wanted to watch Barney. I wanted her to go to FEEP. We had a minor battle about it and I won. She went into her crib, screaming and crying, but she went in! She's not napping yet, but I know Mr. Sandman will be dropping by soon for a visit.

Will just called and he left his keys in the car at work this morning and probably needs me to bring him one of our jump start kits. Believe it or not, both of our jump start cables are in the garage instead of in our cars....for various reasons.
