Busy as always

This past week was busy, per usual. Evie seems fully recovered from allergy stuff, daddy had a good birthday and visit from his friend Mike F and the buckeyes won their first game handily while U Mich lost badly! I was also really proud of Evie because she shared her toys well with everyone. The girls look so cute in their outfits, and now we have a boy in our midst--William Robert who is such a cutie! Congrats again to Mike and Mo--fastest labor with no drugs and still a great big smile on her face--you rock! He is going to be mother-henned to death by the girls, poor kid!
We did a day trip to Indiana to visit family last Sunday. Evie had fun with her cousins and in their pool. Mommy and Evie had to borrow swimsuits for the pool so we look a little silly but she LOVED it. I had to pry her out of there.Otherwise, I am teaching a class at Newark right now that lasts 3 weeks and we're both working hard before school starts up in 1.5 weeks! After the allergy scares last week I called OSU daycare and asked if we could have that spot we turned down back, and they do have a space for Evie if we want it. We are checking it out on Thursday. I don't want to move her to somewhere that won't be any better than where we are now, and accidents can happen any place, but overall I would feel much better if she is closer to us (OSU is 5 minutes away, instead of 20 like she is now) and closer to a hospital if that should ever be necessary. OSU also requires all staff to complete first aid, which could work in our favor too. I want to check it out first, but if the room they can put her in isn't full of morons, we may go for it.

Evie has something like 5 teeth coming in right now. One of her molars is super swollen and causing her a lot of grief but she is mostly taking it in stride. She has also started telling on herself--when she does something she isn't supposed to do--like stand on a chair or toy, she yells 'sit down' and then laughs and keeps doing it anyway. She is a pip. Obviously, we're working on that.

I also forgot--Evie had a follow-up appointment with her doctor on Thursday. She didn't want to get weighed but since she has also been weighed recently at ER she is somewhere between 23 lbs 8 ounces and 23 lbs 14 ounces. She is a little over 33 inches tall. She's a monster:) Because Evie did indeed have the beginnings of an anaphylactic reaction at daycare, it is extremely unlikely that she will outgrow her milk allergy:(. Good thing she likes soy cheese, milk and yogurt!
