Hopefully we've seen the last of the stomach bugs for the rest of the year. Kate wasn't feeling well on Wednesday night, and Thursday she had the regurgitation woes. Today she is a little bit better, and has managed to keep some food down.
Today we are experiencing a weather pattern similar to a September day in Portland. The sun is golden. The air is crisp. A light jacket is a must. The only difference is the month of December. I'm letting the girls play in the luxurious sunshine. Kate's braids seem to be stretching out in the golden light as she runs around in the backyard. Reagan's nose is beginning to resemble Rudolph's, but it's not from the temperature, it's from all of the nose blowing she's been doing the past few days.
The weather here isn't always bliss. Yesterday it rained. Two days ago the temperature dropped below 40, and we've had a couple of frosty mornings already. The only difference is that we get anxious when there are 2 days of cloudy skies, and if there is sporadic rainfall during that period of time, everyone starts going just a little nutty.
I remembered a little park in the city adjacent to ours that had rubber matting under the play structure, so I took the girls there this morning. I wanted them out of doors today, but wasn't looking forward to the six inches deep in mud. The rubber playground was perfect. The only thing they got was wet, and that was because they insisted on going down the only slide that I hadn't wiped down. I guess the dry slides just weren't that interesting.
You will be delighted to know that Georgianna has learned how to say "candy cane". The only other words that are intelligible are "mommy" and "ba-ba". Though mommy is for any adult that will pick her up, and ba-ba is for anything that she can insert into her mouth whereas candy cane is intended only for candy canes.
