The Day After Easter

Tanae came back to play on Monday. Adia was so happy to see her again. They did their usual hug and thunk, Adia ending up on the bottom and crying. I feel so bad for them when that happens because I know they don't want to hurt each other. After breakfast, Tanae and Adia took turns in the shower. I washed Tanae's hair first, screaming the entire time. Then it was Adia's turn, followed by screaming and then giggling. Why do kids hate to get their hair washed? I know I was the same way, but why?

After shower time, we headed to the store. Tanae and Adia sat in the car cart. They loved it at first. They each got a couple new toys. They were perfectly happy until we paused to actually grab some groceries. Adia started to get cranky first and Tanae only complained when I took Adia out of the car. I guess it's not as fun with only one passenger.


Notice who has their hands on both wheels
Adia was more than ready for a nap when we got back. She fell right to sleep and slept for 2 hours. While she slept, Tanae got some two on one time with DiDi and me. We ate some lunch and made chocolate pudding. Adia can actually eat pudding so we've been making her some out of whole milk. We thought Tanae would enjoy it too. She most certainly did!





Adia and Tanae played a little bit more after Adia woke up, but soon Scott arrived. Adia covered him in kisses and Tanae gave him lots of hugs. He shaved his head so I was very surprised Adia even recognized him. We were soon headed back to Gamma and Gampa's house and Tanae went down for a long nap.

Sadly, no more pictures after the ones with Tanae. My camera batteries died and I don't have the ones Gampa took. I should get them this week. I also have more batteries now AND my charger. I can't believe I forgot to bring them with me in the first place.

There are a few things have happened in the last couple days:

1. Even though Adia loves mandarin oranges, they do NOT like her. It's another food on the do not eat list. She woke up screaming bloody murder the first morning after eating them, followed by a nasty diaper. The second morning, more screaming bloody murder and severe diarrhea. The diarrhea badly burned her, so now she's back to a horrible diaper rash.

2. Her verbal skills have increased even more. I think I've lost count of all the words she can understand and say. Honestly, I think she understands every single thing we say. Today she was walking up to the cat, getting face to face with it and saying, "Hi Kitty!" She kept doing it over and over again. Then there's also, "ok", "Yeah it does", "Nay" (for Tanae) and more.

3. The triage nurse knows us by name. Yep, I've had to call the triage nurse at Adia's doctor's office that many times lately. We went almost a whole year without ever needing to call and now it's like we live there. She gave me a few more ideas for her diaper rash if the anti-fungal and A&D ointment didn't work. She also told me if she keeps having diarrhea, I can give her culturelle. I don't think I've seen a normal poopy from Adia since the cheerios.

4. Scott used to always mention how one of Adia's eyes seemed to wander when she looked up. I never saw it happen and attributed it to the whole learning to focus thing. Well, it's become much more noticeable, in fact, every time she looks more than a few feet in front of her, her right eye drifts away. It's freaky to watch. She now has a doctor's appointment for 4/3 to get it checked out. Hopefully they can do something because I think it bothers her too.
