Ouch Report

As soon as I walked in to pick up Mikayla the Assistant Director told me she had an “Ouch Report” for me to sign. She then informed me that Mikayla had been bitten! Go figure. Yesterday I write about how Mikayla hasn’t gone through that and then the next day she was the victim! I’m not really sure how it exactly happened. I just know she was taken by surprise because she was bitten on her back. She never even saw it coming. The report said that she cried. No duh!!!!! The assistant director said the little predator must have thought she was going to taste sweet. Hahahaha. I do know that the child who bit her was not the one who bit someone yesterday when I picked up Mikayla. When I looked on her back I didn’t see a place, so we made it through the first attack at the Daycare!

She's Already a Princess but Still Needs a Costume!

Mikayla was asleep around 7:30 tonight. As far as I know of (if they told me the truth) Mikayla had a great today. She wasn't even wearing food all over her when I picked her up. Now that I think of it- she didn't even have a drop on her. I wander if she actually ate! She rarely turns down food, but it has happened a few times. She was playing outside when I picked her up. One of the teachers was getting onto another little girl for biting a little boy. They looked like they were Mikayla's age. Mikayla has never bitten anything but food. I'm wishfully thinking that she never does! I doubt we make it through our terrible 2's without ever biting someone.

I really am proud with how Mikayla has been. I guess it's been a few weeks now that Mikayla has made it sleeping in her bed the WHOLE night. There was one night that she slept with me because she just didn't feel well and we were lucky to sleep at all! I am finding that I am getting more rest- once I actually fall to sleep anyways. As I'm going to sleep I lay there thinking about all the "what ifs." It's hard because she is on the complete opposite end. She is doing great and is doing so great that when Auntie came to visit me I made Auntie sleep in my bed with me because there was no way she was going to kick Mikayla out of her own bed. I figured it was easier for Auntie to sleep with me in a Queen size bed than to sleep with Mikayla in a full size.

I now have the dilema of finding Mikayla a Halloween Costume! Mikayla doesn't like anything poofy or it would be easier to find something (she will cry if you put poofy on- and refuses to even move!). I'm needing a 2T for her and a lot of stuff is 2/4. She doesn't need a 2/4- she needs just a 2!!!!!! She gets to dress up on the 31st for Daycare and I certainly don't want my baby being the only one not in a costume. So, I'm on the hunt. If you have ideas let me know!

The picture below is from last year! Her shirt said "Who Needs a Costume when You're Already A Princess." It's true, BUT this year she really does need a costume. In the picture you can see that she is looking over at something- it was me. Last year at this time Mikayla wasn't walking. I was so afraid she was going to just fall out of the chair that I couldn't move far from her. She has grown so much since then!

What else can she get into?

I keep stuff put up around the house so that Mikayla can't get into trouble (at least not danger anyways). I know that if I don't want her to have something I have to keep it out of reach....which her arms seem to be really long when she really wants something. I don't think Auntie has learned that lesson. Mikayla first put Auntie's shoes on- which is no problem, but then she got Auntie's Oakley Sunglasses. The shoes gave her just the boost she needed. Mikayla is very resourceful! Of course she was as cute as a button, so I snapped pictures!

Loves to Be Naked

Tonight after Mikayla's bath I made the mistake of drying her off and then putting her down. She was running around naked and loving every minute of it! (You would think I would've learned my lesson after she peed on the floor twice before- haha) I managed to catch her and put her on the bed, and that is when I took this picture. Every night I look at her and am reminded of how adorable she is and how much I love her. I think I love her more and more every day- if that is even possible!

Sour Face

Survived Shriner's

We are back from the brace fitting. Mikayla is now napping. We did a lot more of sitting and waiting than anything else. Mikayla did much better than I expected. It didn't bother her at all when they put the braces on. She actually seemed to like them (probably not for long). I think she liked them because they have little bumble bees on them. Last time her braces had white straps- white and toddler don't go well together. I have to order shoes to go for the braces, which will probably take about a week to come in. She'll only be able to wear the braces around the house until the shoes come in. Hopefully this will be the last braces we have to order. I'm going to think positively! I'll try to put some more pictures on here tonight.

My Little Princess

We made it through the night without our favorite blanket, but as soon as I got to the Daycare this morning I grabbed the 2nd blanket and put it in my car. The imposter must have worked okay because I found her this morning laying on top of it. Mikayla is already asleep. I know why she's asleep so early- because she woke up an hour early at nap time. The Director said she woke up and said "hey".It was partially because she is so congested. I can't do anything else about it. She is taking antibiotic and congestion medicine, but she is doing better I think. Her nose isn't constantly running. It's hard when your child is sick and you've done all you can do. I wish I could be the one sick and her be completely well. She won't go to the Daycare at all tomorrow because her appointment at Shriners is at 11:00. Maybe it won't take the full day and we can come home and relax. Wishful thinking I guess!

The picture down below wasn't take today. It was taken a couple weeks ago, but it shows you a picture of her with her favorite blanket. You can see the love! She actually has 2 of them that are EXACTLY ALIKE!
