Daycare Ick

So it begins. After only a few hours at the daycare, Ade already had her first cold. My mom was here to help out so I could get some work done, and by Thursday Ade officially had a cold. Today she seems to be turning the corner and starting to clear up. I hate that this will probably become a cycle. Worse, she was supposed to start at the daycare tomorrow, but now that she is sick I am not going to bring her in to infect the other kids (or re-infect whoever infected her really). Sigh. So tomorrow we are back to the no-childcare dance.

We had a nice Meet the Babies lunch at IBM on Wednesday. We have had so many kids born in our Rational UT organization in the past year. I never thought I'd say it, but I miss my cube. Being back at the office just really made me miss sitting down and concentrating only on work, caffeinated coffee at my side. I even miss the drive to work, audiobook playing on my ipod -caffeinated coffee at my side... :-)

Ade with a cold is even more fun than Ade being normal- fussy, yelling, and not sleeping. I feel so bad for the little snot-face. At night she is snorting and coughing while she tries to nurse. Awful.

Here she is at Target, in the cart like a big girl:


In addition to her IBM and Target outings, Ade got a little culture this weekend. We all went to the art museum to see the Landscapes exhibit. When she liked a painting, she yelled at it. She lasted about an hour at the museum, which I consider a success. Especially considering she wasn't feeling well.
