Poor Lillian has had her second bout with a virus in less than a month. She vomited Sunday night and was up every two hours during the night to go to the bathroom. She woke up at 9:30 crying that there was something in her pull-up - it was a bit of diarrhea. She was very concerned about it - she has never pooped in her pull-up at night. This morning she got out of her crib by herself and we found her sitting on the potty pooping. I cancelled our play date for today but she seemed to be on the rebound until lunch. She only ate two crackers and after we read one story before nap, she just wanted me to rock her. Now Lillian loves to be rocked but usually while she is being read to or she is constantly talking. Today she just curled up on my chest and fell asleep within five minutes. You know she is sick when she falls asleep on you. She fell asleep on me last night too and when I went to put her in the crib she said, "Just put me in bed like this and I will take a good night's sleep." Hopefully she will feel better after her nap today.
We went to the reptile fair at the local natural sciences museum Saturday and on the way home Lillian was talking about snapping turtles. She wanted to know why they would bite you and I said because they were very grumpy. She then said, "Maybe if I give him a kiss and hug he won't be grumpy anymore."
Lillian is currently fascinated with punctuation marks. She spots comma's everywhere and every day she asks what different marks are and what they do. Sunday morning Joe took her out for a while and she started singing this song in the car:
"The commas on the bus go pause, pause, pause. The periods on the bus go stop, stop, stop." Today we added question marks (ask?) and exclamation points (yeah!) to the song.
