Over. It. Finally.

We have been sick.

I mean down in the dumps, amoxicillin and nebulizer, multiple doctor visits and one chest x-ray sick. And that was just Penny.

I am so happy it is finally over. It was a few three weeks of illness, four if you count her great-grandparents in the beginning and her grandmother at the end. Huzby managed to avoid it - by avoiding us as much as possible and by me washing the sheets, towels and blankets on an almost daily basis. Lucky goose - I succumbed and really only avoided a trip to the doctor by avoiding my worse symptoms and focussing on Penny's.

I am so happy that Penny is able to re-enter society. You don't realize how long three weeks can be until you start visiting friends, attending classes, and generally getting out with a toddler again. All those sharing/no-hitting/DON'T-POKE-THE-BABY skills tend to slide so quickly and need to be re-re-reinforced. We also lost a dear 1.5 pounds, which hopefully won't take too long to put back on since they were really necessary to make the weight limit for sitting forward in the car. We haven't turned her back around, since sitting forward seems to have eliminated the carsickness and made her much happier to take trips. I hope she gets some weight back on before her two-year appointment.

Speaking of...I really need to get on those invites. Craft day today (mostly for Mommy!).
