After a great evening out at the restaurant without Tylenol or Motrin, I was surprised and disappointed that Anna woke up crabby and sick again; I guess whatever she has is going to last more than jus 24 hours. We drove down to Opa's and Anna seemed to like getting out in the car and seeing a new place. She really liked Opa's birds (although one was too loud when he talked so we had to admire from afar). She though Opa's "little dog" was cute, but she seemed to like the piano the most. She gently pressed down one key at a time and play a nice little tune.
We went out to lunch with Opa, Anita, Brian, & Ross, but the service was so bad that Anna & I ended up leaving with my mom shortly after the adult meals arrived I did eat a bit of my lunch and thankfully they served Anna first). I couldn't make a sick kid sit in her highchair while we ate after she had been sitting in it for over 30 minutes already. I think if she hadn't been sick she would have been just fine as she would have had more of an appetite, too.
She fell asleep in the car for about 10 minutes on the way up to Grandma & Grandpa's and then also took a decent nap at their house. She was a bit crabby after her nap but just before bedtime the Motrin kicked in and shew as happy and playful and I almost felt bad sending her to bed. But she wanted to go to bed and rest so I didn't feel too bad.
Little things:
- At Nana & Papa's she liked to point out the elk and deer mounted on the walls: "eh," "dee." "eh," "dee."
- She was saying "dumpemout" (dump them out) when she dumped the crayons out of the cup at the restauarnt.
- She is saying more and more two-word phrases like "little dog," "big clouds," etc.
- She is identifying colors. I thought this was a fluke at home; that she was just repeating what we had said earlier but she named the colors of the crayons at the restaurant and then identified colors of blocks at Grandma & Grandpa's house. (red, blue, orange, yellow, green)
