Bows and Boogers

What a busy week. Between all the work junk (which, that reminds me, I need to go in for a while on my Monday off to finish report cards unless I do them here at home bah), bows (did I post that I had an order for 13? They turned out SO great - see FB pics), and life in general, I didn't have much chance to blog. Nap time? Blog time. (although secretly I should be napping too...)

About the bows...they turned out so great. My friend who ordered them gave me each girls' age, hair/eye color, and a few likes/dislikes and let me create away. I don't know where all these creative juices are coming from, but they're fun - and so not me. I'm don't pride myself in my creativity outside of figuring out a quick artic/language lesson on the fly at work by any means. I have about as much creativity as a flea. Perhaps that's changing...yesterday after my work meeting I spent some serious time in Michael's looking for just the right stuff to put on the bows and done. Whew. On to finding some perfect flowers for other orders...

Poor baby Morgan...yesterday morning she woke up and someone had turned on a faucet in that kid's nose. She didn't have a fever she went to bed although it was high 99s and she appeared miserable so she went to bed happily with medicine (refer to medicine post a few weeks ago). She woke up just over 100 degrees after having Tylenol around 2am? 3am? I can't remember...was on autopilot. She's very snuggly right now which is fabulous (refer to wiggly child post). :-P Here's the problem now - we were all set to go visit friends tonight who have three little girls who Morgan LOVES to play with...but if she's all sick, it's not fair to share her germs, so right now we're "on call" to see if she gets better. Sigh. I don't know if that will happen and I'm not sure it would be good friend behavior to bring a child leaking snot all over her face to their house. Fingers crossed she magically heals...

On to a positive. Morgan's expressive language the past 2 days or so has TAKEN OFF. Another huge leap. She is repeating things we say often and clearly. She's been repeating us for some time, but now she's doing in right after we say it and then using/saying it herself within the next few minutes. She repeated the color blue yesterday while her BAF (best adult friend)'s daughter was here taking Morgan for an early childhood test ride for a college course. Fun time! Morgan was somewhat shy at first and very mobile (running all over the place) but in the end she did a song with Hanna and gave her a hug goodbye. (and hopefully didn't share all the snot)

I'm not sure what today will bring...I would love to go shopping a bit and go to Ries' but I'm not sure that's in the cards (killer - she needs 24 month jammies like, yesterday, and I have a 30% off coupon at Kohls). It might be a hang out, wipe nose, clean, wipe nose, sleep, wipe nose, wipe nose kind of day. At least it's a three day weekend, right? :-) That's always a plus.
