Last Thursday morning I commented to Mike that Mia must have really been rubbing her eyes because they were really red. Her allergies had been acting up all week, so we thought nothing of it. Later that day, her teachers called and said they thought she had pink eye. Mike picked her up and took her to the doctor. Sure enough, pink eye. Friday morning I woke up to crusty, watery, burning eyes. I stayed home with Mia and called my doctor. Pink eye. Although I hated the conditions, it was wonderful to stay home with my girl all day. She'd had a rough week and I think some mommy-daughter time was beneficial to us both. Mike had a super busy day at the store, with a warehouse sale going on that night. He desperately needed my help, so I eventually had to go up there with Mia to help him steam new clothes and watch the store while he took over inventory. I ended up calling Mom and Bruce to come get Mia so I could help at the sale. It was a long, tiring night for us and their help with Mia really allowed us to focus our attention on taking care of the store. I don't know what we would do without the help of our parents.
On Saturday I took Mia up to the store for some daddy time. We were both feeling much better and hung out as a family all afternoon. On Sunday Mia and I hung out most of the day. Mike and I watched the UofL game later that night, so Mia hung out with her Mamaw and Papaw Robbins. When I arrived, they had made cookies and brownies, which Mia was very happy to sample!! Mia loves spending time with Mamaw and Papaw! ;-)
Yesterday Mia was back at daycare and did very well. Mike picked her up early so we aren't sure how she'll react to look-alike mom. I spoke to the doctor about it after Carol commented that Mia seemed to think Aunt Lynn's boyfriend was Bruce, loving on him and wanting to play with him like she does her Grampy. The doctor said Mia has gone through a lot of change in a short amount of time. They also noted that she's a very affectionate child anyway. She may be simply expecting people who look like her Mommy or her Grampy to be as loving toward her as we are, then she gets her feelings hurt when they aren't. But they said it should ease over time and not to worry ourselves about it.
Tonight Mia is with her Nana and Papa Wilson. I am heading up a two-day event at work this week and will be working long hours. They kept Mia tonight so I could set up and get there extra early tomorrow. She talked to me the entire way to Dad's this morning. She was so bubbly and cheerful. Then, as soon as Dad opened the front door to walk outside, Mia saw him and began kicking her feet, pointing at him and pulling forward in her carseat to get out. I love how excited she gets to see all her grandparents. Not many girls are so lucky as to have three sets of grandparents who love her and play with her so much. Dad said they played outside with bubbles tonight, so he got to hear her say "bubba".
Mia has also learned "ball". She will point out any and every ball she sees, noticing even the boys playing ball in the court behind our house! She can't say "feet", but she will point to her feet when asked, always taking the time to pull off her socks to show me. She then tries to put her socks back on, basically shoving them between her toes. One of her new favorite sayings is "uh oh", as in, she will drop something on the floor for Mommy to pick up, and she will laugh and say "uh oh!" Mia is also getting one of her top left molars. She's not had as much of an appetite and I think that may be why.
Mike will be off this weekend and we look forward to spending a lot of time with our girl.
