We get a daily report from school every day with what Mallory ate, when she napped, and when & what kind of diaper changes she had. I don’t normally pay attention to anything other than the nap column, but yesterday’s meal column was full so it stood out to me. This is what it said:

Food
Time

oatmeal cookie
6:25a

yogurt, milk
7:55a

cheerios, watermelon, 1/2 banana, water
9:05a

pizza, carrots, refused milk
11:50a

1/2 banana, watermelon, cheerios, water
1:25p

more carrots, cheerios, water
3:00p

We provide all this food (Friday was pizza day so we just sent money for that) so I shouldn’t be surprised that she ate all this. And the oatmeal …

I thought I’d share more about our decision to do tubes.
Mallory had a hearing test which she passed with flying colors. They did another little test to see how her eardrums move (it helps the doctor know how much fluid is behind the eardrums). That result was just OK – not perfect but not horrible. When we met with the ENT guy, Dr Possum Hunting (not his real name), said that her ears didn’t show any signs of permanent damage so the decision was up to us, or rather me, since my husband is on vacation working in Florida.
One of …

So this really cute book that Mallory just loves is becoming a big fat pain in my arse. She is OBSESSED with “Fancy Nancy”, which is pretty adorable (it’s the book she’s “reading” to herself in the video from a few days ago), but this obsession has started to interfere with diaper changes, getting dressed, taking baths, etc.
She wants to carry the book around and read it ALL.THE.TIME. And because it’s not a little board book, it’s big, like bigger than 8.5 x 11, she can’t read it while laying on her back while I change her diaper. And …

The theme this week at daycare was “Jungle Animals” and today was Elephants. The kids colored ears and then the teachers put the ears onto hats; and then the kids paraded around wearing their elephant ears.
     
Secret Society of Walkers: There is a corner of the kitchen at daycare that Mallory usually likes to go stand in while I wait patiently for her to decide to put her coat on so we can leave. Today Miss Makeda told me that the walkers in the infant room (there are four – Mals, Alli, Pavol & Emily) always go …

Mallory is getting tubes March 11.

Just some random stuff.
Mallory has had some pretty nasty runny poop diapers the past two days so I let her go bare-bottomed for a bit today to try to air out. I was at the ready with a towel in case she started to pee or poop. I was also at the ready with the camera because I couldn’t resist her sweet little bum as she pushed her shopping cart into her room.
I always get a little nervous when she gets a bad diaper rash – it was just before our ER visit last fall that she had …

Look what happened on Guam today:

The crazy thing is that we SAW the Stealth Bomber when we were there a month ago! Rick & I saw it at night one night and it was pretty freaky – really wide set pattern of lights flying slow.Then the next day it made a couple of passes over our hotel – Rick even got a picture:

That article also refers to a crash of a Navy plane 20 miles off the coast of Guam 11 days ago. What the hell is going on?

My sister just forwarded me these pictures my dad took on November 7, 2006…
  
Hard to believe I thought she was soooooo beautiful back then. LOL!
