Mckayla is the Energizer Bunny you see on the battery ads. Every morning, she starts with a fresh battery. She’s fully energized, running around and playful. Getting into everything that she’s not supposed to touch. She goes to the park with Nanny, plays on the slides and swings, chases the birds and squirrels. Then, she [...]

Amoxicillin is Yummy
Mckyala is almost half way through her antibioics course. When she had her first ear infection in Janaury, giving her medication was a torture for both of us. She refused to take the meds and we’d have to force it down while holding her arms and legs. This time, she actually enjoys the antibiotics and [...]

Teacher’s Pet
We think Mckayla will be the teacher’s pet once she goes to school. In fact, she’s already a little teacher’s pet at Gymboree. She’s always the first one running to the bin when the teachers tells them to put away the toys (music instruments). And whenever the teacher starts a new game, Mckayla is always [...]

Electric Toothbrush
We took out the electric toothbrush tonight. I tested with Mckayla prior to her last bottle and she loved it. I slowly put the toothbrush into her mouth and she slowly opened up her mouth wider and wider. I finally got to brush the teeth all the way in the back without her crying and [...]

Mckayla’s Sick Again
Mckayla’s runny nose that started on Sunday has gotten worse. Her appettite was really poor yesterday, she wasn’t interested in anything besides milk and fruits (strawberries and apples). Last night, we put her down to bed at the usual time and got ready to watch 24 on Tivo. Shortly after the show started, we heard [...]

Ready for Bed
Mckayla sleeps with lots of “stuff” in her crib. Two stuffed animal dogs (Big Patrick and Little Patrick) and two blankets every night. Usually she sleeps on the Big Patrick, hugs one of the blanket, tugged inside the other blanket, and Little Patrick lays right next to her when we put her down. Last night, [...]

Another Cold
Mckayla is sick again. She woke up with runny nose on Sunday and it just got worse. When we got home from Theresa’s birhday party, she was running a low grade fever. Even being sick, she was still energized and dragged her new dog stuffed animal around the entire day. Since I’ve been home alone [...]

Toothbrushing
For couple weeks now, brushing Mckayla’s teeth has became a very unpleasant chore. She used to enjoy brushing her teeth and all we had to do was just guide the brush to cover all the areas. But for some unkonwn reasons, she resists the task now and cries every time we try to brush her [...]

Saved from Sugar
We went to Mckayla’s friend, Quincy’s party this afternoon. Before we went, we knew they were going to serve sweet treats to the kids. Ted had doubts that we’re going to avoid the sugar treats since all the kids will eating them. After the kids got to run around and play a few games, they [...]

Diaper Explosion
Mckayla woke up this morning way way to early for me again, especially on my day off. She didn’t cry but I heard her babbling to herself. I got up to shower and when I got out she was still babbling to herself. I left her along and got everything packed for our Friday outing. [...]
