We had our first "sick" visit today. Not sure that we figured out the problem, but both ears look good - so no ear infection. She said probably RSV or some other kind of upper respiratory infection OR teeth - could be the teeth - she has been kind of drooly. (I know - it's not a word.) I was told last week during her 1 year check up that she had some wax build up and to get some mineral oil. It took me some time to find and we finally used some last night. Well, the dr. had to clean out that ear today. Makenna was not a fan. Although, she did a little better at staying still than last week.
She has not been a good eater today. So tonight - it was chicken noodle soup. While sitting in my lap. Trying to use the spoon. So got broth everywhere! And then she ate it with her hands. And fed some to me.
Then later I tried to give her pudding. She was wary of the spoon - not sure why. Then decided she wanted to eat that with her hands. This is where most normal people stop their children from eating pudding with their hands. So of course, I let her. She doesn't feel well and won't eat anything else - better to get something in her - than to fight it. I know - my attitude will change when she gets older. But for tonight....it was pudding with the hands. (Robert was grossed out.)
Then she and I took a shower. It was prescribed by the dr. for the steam. She's never been in the shower - I'm not sure she knew what to think!
She's in bed now...talking...probably to Elmo. So, I should probably go get some rest myself not knowing how often we'll be up tonight!
