11/15/2005 Archived Entry: "still sick"

I slept so much better last night. Chris couldn't stay home with me all day, but enough for me to really sleep in this morning. I don't feel nearly as lethargic as I did yesterday. One more day and I should really be feeling better. For now, I will continue to take it easy though.

Daisy already seems better, I didn't have to wipe her nose even once today. Hopefully she will also start to sleep a little better tonight.

Tabitha finished the latest Unfortunate Events book. She went through it pretty quickly, especially considering it's 350 some pages. I think it took her a total of 3 or 4 days. She had bowling yesterday and she is now the top scorer for girls in her league as well as the highest average. She was pretty darn proud of that fact.

Daisy is progressing with her walking. She now walks first when trying to get somewhere and crawls only after she falls. She is still displaying amazing balance and strength and recovers rather well from her stumbles. I hope to goodness that she masters walking soon and the she can focus on less physical accomplishments and perhaps start talking as opposed to screeching. I love her, but dear goodness she is loud. Almost her entire language is made up of screeches and grunts. The odd thing is, when she does babble, which isn't that often compared to other kids her age, she does it softly. Unless we're in a public restroom in which case she is just like her older sister and takes full advantage of the acoustics.

Back to Tabitha, I must mention that the child is most definitely boy crazy. She drops words like cute and handsome all the time when talking about various boys. She only has one friend that's a boy though, so he is, by default, the one she likes. She speaks so seriously to me about the subject and yet it's hard to hold back my smiles. I don't want her to think I think she's silly, but she is so adorable when talking about boys. Of course, I need to keep her away from them as she's always had some weird charm when it comes to older boys. I don't know what it is, but since she was 3, older boys would always make a point of playing with her, or teasing her, being boys and all, but giving her more attention than any other girl. I don't know how much of a power she still has over older boys, but I'm not looking forward to finding out, lol.
