My Valentine's

We had a pretty nice Valentine's Day. Addy got some Valentine's treats this morning from Mommy and Daddy and we all exchanged cards before Rob left for work. Ainsley slept in, trying to recover from her ear infection and we ate a little breakfast. We had plans to attend a Valentine's Day party with friends.

As we were getting ready and I was changing Ainsley I noticed that her little ear was full of goo! After a call to the pediatrician I was told that she had ruptured her ear drum, and needed to be checked out. I'm not sure at what point it happened. Apparently it was during the night and just didn't ooze out until later in the morning, which would explain the sleep we were able to get the second half of the night. Poor girl was miserable all day Sunday and part of the night too. This morning, she woke up smiling! It was good to see her enjoying life again. We went ahead and went to the party and scheduled the appointment for the afternoon, so we could get a prescription for ear drops.

The party was nice. Addy entertained us ladies momentarily, mimicking me and repeating words I repeat often at home. She complained of the mess all the children were making and proceeded to tell them how it made her mad. :) I often tell her that it makes me mad or angry that she makes messes and doesn't clean them up.. Then, as we laughed.. she said in a very stern tone "it's not funny!". I still hear the scene replaying in my head. It really was quite funny. I have never seen Addy take any kind of authoritative role in a group. It makes me wonder how she acts at school. Even more so, how she makes ME look at school! I can only hope she is honest!

Ainsley's appointment went quickly and smoothly. We headed off to get her prescription filled and get home to relax. Ainsley was a trooper all day and smiled plenty. She is exhausted and will hopefully rest well tonight. We will enjoy having some quiet time tomorrow while Addy is at school!

While we waited for Rob to get home from work and the usual evening events, we went out back to play and I snapped some V-Day photos of my two favorite little Valentine's.










Rob came home and cooked a very nice surf & turf meal for the two of us. We actually got through the meal uninterrupted by the sleeping baby or Addy! It's quite a miracle!



It was a nice day.. A little like every other day, but with a cherry on top! :)

Happy Valentine's Day!!
