Cold #1

Betsy has her first cold of the school year...and so do all of the kids in her class. I'm such a germophobe, Purell freak, but while she's at school I have no control over what she puts in her mouth and who she touches and what she does--and it kills me.

She loved school again yesterday. After we dropped B off Sadie and I went to the Parents Breakfast and met a lot of the moms. Thank goodness Caroline was there, because it's sort of scary to meet a room full of moms. After B's nap we went to an Orient Expressed shoot. B was sort of whiny at first, but then she had fun. There were tons of cute outfits and lots of nose wiping. Last night P made yummy tacos. We have another OE shoot at 11. I hope B is cooperative!

Sadie has been REALLY fussy lately. She has started crying at night from about 7 until 10 or 11. For the first couple of hours she has to be held, but then she starts crying even when she is being held. I don't know what it is. I think she's overly tired, but she won't go to sleep. I'm happy that she sleeps from 10 or 11 until 7 or 8 (she's actually still sleeping now and it's 8:30), but I don't know why she's so fussy.

--When I offered her orange juice just now(since I only really offer it to her when she has a cold) she said, "make Betsy feel better?" She said the same thing about her medicine last night.
--She has to have so much stuff in her bed--last night she had to hold her 2 balloon from Katie and she had several dolls, a set of wooden paper dolls, about a dozen figurines, her pillows, blanket, and 2 random books in her bed. There's hardly any room for her in her bed.

I may just upload all of my pics to this loaner computer so I can post pics. I'll try tonight.
