Growing Pains...

Emma Claire (and Mom) had a tough morning. She (Emma Claire, not Mom) screamed for about 4 hours, almost without a break. The only thing that would calm her was to be held and walked. Not rocked, not cuddled on the bed, not standing still. She demanded to be walked. So, that is what we did for 4 hours. Finally, I called the doctor. They said to come in, and we did in the afternoon. Sure enough, Emma Claire was as happy as could be at the doctor's office. All smiles. The only indication of a bad morning were her red eyes from all the crying and no nap. The peditrician said she believed me, though. Emma Claire was, of course, fine. Ears looked great, no temp, happy, etc. Just those little teeth trying to push through and the beginnings of a little cold. Up the tylenol and add ibuprofin...check! The rest of the afternoon was fine. In fact, we both took a much needed 2+ hour nap on a cold, wet October afternoon.

We did make it to waterbabies tonight. It is our last class of the first fall session. We have a 2 week break and then start back. Jonah is going to continue, too. We haven't seen him in a couple of weeks, so they enjoyed seeing each other (I think, anyway!). We sang lots of songs and practiced our jumps from the side of the pool and, of course, "going under".

Lots of fun events coming up for halloween. Rowie and Greta are coming tomorrow. We are going to a party at Blooma on Saturday (dressed in Ladybug attire) and a party at GVCC Sunday night. A neighbor is having a party on Halloween. A busy couple of weeks ahead...!

Election day is 13 days away...I think we might just make it through, although the end still seems like an eternity away. We are excited for Brad. It is fun to see the Kadue signs up all over!
