A girl has to look good whether she’s just hangin’ at home…

Bye Bye Dottle (and other changes…)
So first of all, who in the world left last Friday off the calendar? I mean, I certainly missed it. Surely you did too. Otherwise, that would mean I forgot Fashion Friday, or worse yet, neglected to fulfill my blogging responsibilities. And of course, that certainly could NOT be the case. Even if I was sick…
Maybe I’ll make up for the universe’s mistake with TWO outfits this week. Maybe…
Anyway, as you current or former toddler moms know, A LOT can change in a week. First of all, the bottle is gone. As in the nipples have been thrown away, and Emma has no idea it ever existed. She is still on small amounts of formula, but only via sippy cup. She was starting to ask for her “dottle” after a meal so I decided it was now or never. For the most part, it went pretty well. A few hungry/tired moments made it a little harder, but once she realized the sippy cup could hold more than just water, she was open to change. Well done, sweetie!
Of course, one step forward usually means a step back, right? Well it does around here. We are officially back on two naps. Yep, you read right. Miss Emma has decided that between being sick and the time change (another dumb universe mistake), she’d rather have her old schedule back.
Based on my post of a few weeks ago, you’d think I’d be jumping for joy, but I’m honestly a little bummed. I kinda liked having her around more, and it was nice to have a little more freedom. But hey, if a girl needs her beauty rest, you give it to her. At least you better give it to this little girl. TRUST ME on this one…
So that’s where we are at for now — drinking fine, sleeping more than usual, and on the road to health. Hey, that sounds pretty good doesn’t it??? Come to think of it, I say this calls for a Starbucks trip. Emma and I could really use a day out of the House of Snot!
Our Busy Bee
Like the last major holiday, we were home today with a sick Emma. But we still had lots of fun!
She spent the day with her Grandma while Mama had her one adult day of the week (at work). Her “day costume” kept her comfy, but festive. Perfect for a little pumpkin with a sore nose.
Once I got home, we changed into our “night costume,” and geared up for the trick-or-treaters. At first, Miss Emma wasn’t all that crazy about her antennas, but once I brought a mirror down so she could see her new look, she thought they were great!
She kept the costume on all night, even with a drippy nose and very tired eyes. She stood in awe of our dressed-up visitors (all 5 of them!) and managed to stay in good spirits during a quick visit from her other Grandma and Grandpa. But after a busy day of sneezing and coughing, it wasn’t long before our little bee was ready for bed.
Hope you all had a great Halloween!

And now for the costume creating all the buzz…
The camera…again? Really, Mom.
