The Weekend and Now a Fever

Gracie had a good weekend although she definitely had some behavioral issues.  Lots of hitting when she didn't get her way or things didn't happen fast enough for her.  I even got bitten once and she hasn't been biting for a while now.  So she spent a fair amount of time in time outs.  Consistency, consistency, consistency...right!  She also decided she didn't want to leave Target on Saturday evening and decided to show us this by sprawling out across the floor...of course the germ-o-phobic mom I am, this did not sit well with me.  Ugh.

We had some really great times this weekend too.  Gracie and I decorated the Christmas tree on Saturday morning and she loved doing that and seeing all of the ornaments.  Now she thinks she has a free license to take them off anytime she wants, so we are working on that.  We played outside on Sunday and that was a huge hit, she even hung out in her playset in the backyard and went down the snowy slide and got to swing.  She was smiles from ear to ear!

Gracie was also very loving throughout the weekend.  We got a lot of kisses and smiles and snuggles.  She was tired after all of the fresh air and fell asleep very quickly last night.  At 11:15 p.m. she was shivering uncontrollably and was very hot and running a fever.  So I gave her ibuprofen and she finally stopped shaking from the chills about an hour later.  Poor little one.  She had a restless rest of the night, and other than some extra gas, doesn't seem to have any other symptoms.  She is home with daddy today and is getting some extra TLC.  The fever creeps back once the fever-reducing meds get out of her system.  I'm hoping this is short-lived and she is healthy again soon.

Have a great week.

Love,
Lisa, Jeff, and Gracie
