Mallory went to school on Thursday and had a fun day. They told me that she didn't nap well. So when she was cuddling late that afternoon, I just thought she was tired. Nope. She threw up all over me and her. I won't give you any more details than that. It was just gross! She ended up getting sick a couple more times, including once in her crib.
She woke up and was fine on Friday. I was cautious about what I gave her to eat, but she did fine. The only "symptoms" were that she was whiny and easily frustrated (more than normal). Then later on that evening she said "Mommy, kiss it....my ear." She pointed to her right ear and said it hurt. I didn't really think anything of it. I paid attention to what ear she said, and gave it a kiss.
Saturday we went to a children's Christmas party at Steve's work. It was really neat. Mallory got her picture taken with Santa, although she wouldn't sit on his lap.
There were crafts and games for the kids. Mallory's friend Ian was there too. His dad (also Steve) works at the Fed with my Steve. Kind of funny. Here's Mallory in the mask that she made.
She also really enjoyed playing a life-sized game of Candy Land. She was very serious about staying on her square. She was the youngest in her game and she won. She got to pick a toy...it was a little stuffed Christmas dog.
After the party we decided to head to Crown Center to see the Mayor's Christmas tree. Mallory climbed on all the toys around the base of the tree. I got her picture in almost every one of them! Steve climbed in this truck with her.
Then it was home for a nap. We decided to see the Plaza lights Saturday evening, before the weather gets too nasty. Mallory loved the horses again this year. Instead of just neighing to them like she did last year, this year she said "hi, horsey." She'd wave at them and everything. The best comment of the night was when she said the horses had on sunglasses! Nope, kiddo. Those are blinders so they don't get scared of the cars. Sorry for those of you that like to ride the horses, but I think it's cruel to do it in that traffic. I would love to go on a horse drawn carriage ride on a farm where the horses won't see a car at all.
She didn't sleep well Saturday night, so we skipped church. Again, she said her ear hurt. Poor thing. So we had a relaxing day at home. I had some friends over for dinner on Sunday evening. Here's Mallory with Selma.
Again she didn't sleep well last night, so we headed to the doctor's office this morning. Sure enough, she has an ear infection in her right ear. The doctor even said it was "nasty looking." Luckily she's really only bothered by it at night. She's on antibiotics now, so let's hope it clears up quickly.
