Five for Friday, Felicity Edition

1. It is 8:46 and that nimrod is still awake.  She napped for maybe 15 minutes today.  I do not even know what to say about that, except WHY LORD?  WHY CAN'T ANYONE SLEEP?  
2. It's probably not fair to say that - she is a pretty good sleeper, Lord KNOWS she sleeps in in the mornings.  Also, it's not her fault - today we went to almost TWO hours of ballet and then to Marta's house because it's Carlotta's birthday, so she had pizza and cake and excitement.  She was falling apart around 1:30 but it was pouring rain so I had to wait until it lightened up a little to take them to the car.  Anyways, she stayed awake the whole ride home and then I put her down for a nap but she fell asleep while I was rocking her and then just couldn't settle down.  
3. We are going back to the ENT next Friday to see about her adenoids and how the antibiotics worked.  She had no reactions from them, so that's good.  Twenty days, it's a lot, right?  I hope we get good news but I am ready for anything.  
4. She is talking more and more, today I was holding Marta's baby Rebecca and she signed and said "baby!".  
5. I think I'm going to send her to the girls' preschool, their former preschool, this fall.  Maybe she'll just go one day for kind of a Mom's day out thing.  I think Veronica is going to go to the preschool at their grade school, so now I'll be able to take Felicity to just one day at their preschool.  We'll see.  I hate to spend too much time without her but on a day like today, when we've been together all day, and she has been kind of crazy, I think maybe we could use a little break.

Five for Friday (sickness edition)

• I took Felicity to the doctor on Monday, not her regular ped but the pediatric ENT.  He gave us a prescription for Cefdinir, which is also known as Omnicef and which I just read was a Warner Lambert drug.  I and about a million members of my family worked for Warner Lambert years ago before they were bought by evil Pfizer, so whoo, Warner Lambert, yay!  She is supposed to take it for TWENTY days - FORTY doses, which, ugh.  But he said we'll try this for her sinus infection/adenoid trouble and then if it doesn't work or make her better maybe she'll have her adenoids out.  
• Ugh.  I hate to think about it, so I'm not.  After June 7, when I take her to the doctor, I'll worry, depending on what he says.  
• She has been MISERABLE this week.  MISERABLE.  Up early, extremely clingy, unable to sleep, MISERABLE.  And sadly, as Felicity goes, so goes her mother so I've been horrible too.  
• She was horrible today at Ballet, she took every lego block on the table and chucked it to the floor, five times over.  She has discovered the button to open the door and she ran outside 100 times.  I hurt my shoulder and it's been painful to pick her up, so every time of the 1,000 times that I had to do it, it hurt.  
• She is extremely lovable and sweet, even when she's sick and unhappy.  Also, she is SMART!  We pulled up to the bakery today, the bakery where she has been maybe six times in her life?  We pulled up and she said MMMMMM!  MMMMMMMM!  Genius.
