This week at the Fords: Monika turned one year old without having a birthday. This Leap year birthday thing is rather weird. February 28 just was not Monika's birthday and March 1 felt like the day after her birthday. I took her shopping on Saturday (the 1st) and bought her a new outfit. I took some pictures, but there was no cake, no party. I guess I am feeling a little guilty. Come February 29, Monika may be 4 years old but I know I will want to celebrate BIG for her first real birthday!
Annoyance of the Week; Illness, illness and more illness have plagued our home. It seems we are trying out every virus, cold and flu around town! I hate taking the girls into Urgent Care when they really are not too sick (it makes me feel foolish, as if I should know how sick my kids really are). Well, Monika went in twice this week and ended up having both ears infected and an upper respiratory infection that the doctors said was the beginnings of pneumonia. Believe me I did not feel foolish after that visit.
Words of the Week; Jessika asked her first " Why? " It was after telling her it was time for bed. I found it amazing. She can hardly articulate a complete sentence and she already has the gull to ask why!
