Scary Monsters and Silly Sayings

M is a big two year old now and talking our ears off! Lol! She talks all the time and you never know what's going to come out of her mouth. She is very clear with her speech and pretty accurate with her musings. She still says the t sound for the f and y sound for l's. I love to hear her say "tip tops", for flip flops. So stinkin cute! When she doesn't know someone she will ask "what it doing?". I am trying to work with her on this by telling her we say who is that instead of using the word it. She is also becoming very independent. She wants to do everything "myself mommy!!". She loves to say just about anything you say but don't want her to say. If I call Cory a dork she inevitably repeats it right after me. She had picked up all my sighs and growls when I am frustrated. I didn't really notice I did that until she came along. I couldn't figure out where she had heard growling in frustration and then I heard myself do it one day! Oops!!

She is cutting her two year molars and as usual she is not sleeping again. That's what she does when she cuts teeth, she doesn't sleep! I'm so glad she decided to do it during the summer. Praying they come through quickly before school starts again. 

The other night I had all the lights off except the living room light. She headed to her room and quickly returned saying there was a scary monster in there! I told her there was not and she continued to tell me there was. She then headed to the kitchen and returned telling me the same thing. I'm not sure where this came from. We don't let her watch scary things. She never been scared of the dark and I am really hoping this is not the start of it. I was terrified for a long time and I really don't want her to have to go through that. 

Back to School................Already!

I don't know how the summer flies by so quickly. It seems as though it gets shorter and shorter each year. Maybe it's because I am an adult and  now I have a child or maybe it really is getting shorter. Whatever the reason, summer is over and it is time to go back to school.

We are starting our school year out with a bang! Morgan and I both have strep! We went to Urgent Care today (paid $100 for the visit. Ugh!!!) and sure enough, that's what is. Morgan and I have now had strep twice this year. I am looking at the good side of things. I start school Wednesday so at least I didn't have to use any days and hopefully I got my sickness for the school year out of the way! I usually don't get sick that often. Thankfully neither do Morgan or Cory.

It is the first day of school and I am home missing it. Instead of getting better I got worse. Thankfully Morgan is way better and I am getting there. I should not have been given the medicine the Urgent Care doctor gave me. I was told it is usually only given when you are allergic to amoxicillin. It's like putting a band-aid on a gushing wound. No wonder I wasn't getting any better. I finally went back to the doctor yesterday because I was getting way worse. They swabbed me and gave me the right medicine. I am much better today. Thank goodness because I was pretty miserable! A little annoyed with the Urgent Care because I know if she had given me the right medicine I would be at work today. On a good note I am home with Morgan on my birthday. At least one good thing came out of all of this.
