48 hours and counting

shelby says 'binkies at papa elf's house' at nap and bed time, but she's working through it. i honestly expected this to be harder than it has been.

she won't take a nap in her room yet, she starts out there and then i have to move her to my bed so she doesn't keep elise awake. yesterday that involved a lot of cuddling for comfort, and i did eventually turn the tv on. she's in there now, so we'll see if she falls asleep today. yesterday she fell asleep on the love seat.

i went to the doctor today. i have a kidney infection. the good news is that it's not bad enough to put me into the hospital yet! elise was slightly traumatized when i needed to go to the restroom to give my urine sample. dr. harper and three nurses were in the room trying to comfort her!

shelby weighs 35 pounds and is 3' 3". elise weighs 33 pounds.

shelby got a tour of a fire truck on our way home from the doctor! i found it interesting that shelby asked to touch one thing in every storage compartment on the outside of the truck. james, the fireman, put her into the cab of the truck. the truck was on and very loud, shelby wasn't too crazy about that, but she didn't seem too scared.

nathan, parish, and i went to nathan's parent / teacher conference today. it was really tough on nathan. he is having a terrible time with organization. i'm pretty sure that if he would decide that it's necessary and believe that he can do it he would just about have straight A's. i hope the conference was enough to light a fire under him. i have to admit that as a mother it broke my heart to see him under such duress today.
