Mid-Week Memories 04/21/2010

As promised, I took pictures and documented today as my second installment of "Mid-Week Memories." This week, Mallory was getting over a virus and was not doing very well as of Monday and Tuesday. Thankfully, come Wednesday, she was back to normal. She had a very high fever on Sunday and Monday, recovered Tuesday, and was back to normal today.

Because she was ill, I had to take off work Monday and Tuesday and was very excited to see her back to normal today as we were getting a bit stir crazy being in the house. So, this morning we ventured out. In efforts to not "push" her too much, we didn't do anything too extravagant.

We started our morning by heading off to the library to get some new books. Mallory didn't quite understand the concept of "inside voice" so we weren't there too incredibly long. After a quick trip to the grocery, we headed over to great grandma's house for a quick visit and lunch. The highlight of this visit was of course, playing the organ. By the time we got home, she was tuckered out and ready for her nap. She napped most of the afternoon away and when she woke up we played outside before dinner. Playing outside of course, consisted of playing in the dirt.

The reoccuring "latest thing" that she is doing is that she is very much into hugging. You think "awe, how cute" until you find out that she wants nothing to do with hugging people, just her stuffed animals that make noise. She repeatedly hugged her rocking giraffe while patting it's back today whenever he made his giggling noise. Then she moved on to the stuffed beagle dog that plays the drums and sings to the Beatles tune, "I feel fine." Every time he started dancing and singing, there she was to hug him and pat him on the back. I believe he even got a kiss! Never thought I would be jealous of a stuffed dog.

Although it wasn't too exciting of a day, I am just so happy she is back to feeling better. She is eating well, sleeping well, and her normal energetic silly self. Being this is the first time Mallory has had a fever this high, it was a little scary for us, and we are so happy she recovered well.
