Hooray for playing in the pond!

Rebecca has fallen in love with her Baby Huggums doll. These are pictures of her playing with it. She likes to explore the doll's face with her fingers and then she kisses the baby doll on the mouth. So sweet! Rebecca loves her exersaucer so much. It is a godsend. But it has some of the strangest sayings. One of the things you press says, "Hooray for playing in the pond!" Oddly, it is catchy, so now Ramy and I say "Hooray for playing in the pond!" at random times to one another. It can take on so many meanings.

Yesterday was the start of our new fall schedule. I got up early and got ready and got Rebecca fed and we were at daycare by 8 a.m., and then I made the trek to Chaffey College, discovering that there is no good way to get there. Another joy of the L.A. area traffic. So I've got to test out alternate routes to see which is the best of the worst. I got stuck in traffic on the way home, so Ramy picked up Rebecca. Then I dashed in just long enough to feed her and then had to leave again to go to a meeting in Loma Linda. By the time I got home last night, Rebecca really wanted some mommy time. She loves daddy, but even he is no consolation prize for mommy.

Fortunately, we don't have to go anywhere today. Tomorrow and Friday, Rebecca will go to daycare for just about 3 hours each day. So that's good. I got some work done on my comp paper last night and am hoping to get more done today while Rebecca (hopefully) naps.

Still no word back on her remaining bloodwork and urine tests. Today will have been a week since they drew the blood, so I'm thinking they'll at least have that back today, even if the urine tests aren't back. I am pretty sure it was the vanilla Soothie pacifier that caused all this worry, but I'll still be relieved when we get the tests back for sure.

Hooray for playing in the pond!
