Just got back from the doctor. I didn't seem like Morella was perking up enough after a week of antibiotics, so we wanted to make sure that it was working. She still has red in her ears -- one more than the other so she got a more concentrated dosage schedule for the next five days. She also weighed....*drumroll please* .... 18 pounds! It's her grandmother's ham that did it. I am convinced of it. The doctor also said the reason Morella may not be completely herself is because she probably has a virus, and they can last 10-14 days! Crap. ON the bright side that would mean she is nearing the end of it.

I have to admit that for the first time in over a week my throat doesn't hurt, though I do have a cough now and my nose isn't as explody. What a weird cold that was...huh.

We also went to baby book this morning. Morella's nose wasn't running, she wants to get out of the house and well....we are registered. A new lady is running it. She makes everyone sit in chairs and wants you to hold your baby the entire time. It's too structured and ...well I don't know. I just don't think it's that great for babies. IT's good for toddlers and older kids though...sigh. Chatting with the ladies afterward we all agreed that it was ... too structured. But we are still going to go, at least until we can't take it anymore.

I set up an impromptu playday for the Sun Pairie library at 3:00 on Thursday. Hey you are welcome to come! ;)

Well. I just wanted to brag about Morella breaking the 18 barrier. Her walking is fabulous -- I swear she is almost running at points. She just went down for her nap after eating another huge lunch (ham, cheese, potato soup, 1/2 banana, raspberries). Maybe it's the walking that is making her hungrier? In any case, I think I'm tired today so I am going to lay down. Just think, in two weeks -- and any time in between I am going to start feeling better! I can't wait.

Ya-hoo for weight gain and big appetites!

FYI: My awesome friend, Carissa, runs story time at the Alicia Ashman branch (waaaaaaay over on High Point on the west side), and she also does a "Donuts with Dad" daddy/kid story time on the second Saturday morning each month. She rocks and I highly recommend her.

So how many babies/tots were actually willing to stay in chairs and laps the whole time?

It's funny how children's librarians can sometimes have very little clue how to treat children. The Appleton Public Library has a mixed bag of children's librarians. A few are great. Others make me downright uncomfortable when they're assigned to lead a story time, and I see the other moms kind of stiffening up or glancing around awkwardly too.

I'd say send off an email to the head of the children's dept, or whoever is in charge of the lady leading the story time. Or just sit on the floor and let Morella run free as she wishes. Other moms might follow your lead. Story time is for your kids and you.
