Daily Infant Report

The last Daily Infant Report was from the 28th of May when Sophia gave herself a fat lip when she flopped forward while sitting on the floor at daycare. I love getting these so much that I need to record them all in my blog, so here goes…

Thursday May 29th, “Hi there, Sophia had a great day. She really enjoyed playing with our musical interments. She played a lot with our puppet doll hair.” They had a bunch of musical tubes. Each made a different sound when hit against each other, great fun for any infant/toddler.

I have Fridays off, but I took Sophia to daycare on the 30th anyway. I was hoping to get somethings done around the house *ahem* anyway here’s the infant report from Friday, “Hi there! Sophia had a very good day. *Name of other care giver* put all the baby dolls around her and she just loved. She kept touching the doll’s eyes and mouth and laughing at them.” After I picked Sophia up from daycare we went to a friend’s house and stayed WAY past Sophia’s bedtime. She did awesome though and we slept in on Saturday. Sunday was good…until bedtime.

Monday June 2nd, “Hi there, Sophia had a great day! I could tell she was tired but she was in a good mood for most of the time. She painted with paint brush today.” She told me that Sophia didn’t want to get her hands dirty by finger painting. She kept looking at the icky paint on her hands with a sneer, so they tried giving her a paint brush. She just dabbed the paper with it.

Tuesday I didn’t take Sophia in. That’s the morning she woke up with her eyes glued shut with snot. Wednesday she looked fine in the morning. She was still sick but wasn’t acting lethargic and didn’t have a fever. At one in the afternoon I got a call from daycare. She had a fever of 102.8 and she had woke up from a nap with her eyes crusted over again. “Hi there Sophia wasn’t feeling so well. We hope she feels better.” I took her to the doctor and she now has drops for pink eye.

I still think the discharge is just he sinuses being overly backed up, but I’m giving her the drops anyway. Sophia’s regular doctor was out and the doctor that saw us didn’t even look at Sophia’s face before telling me that it was in fact pink eye. One of Sophia’s eye lids was puffy and it was red in the corner where the green snot was coming out, but that was it. Every child I’ve ever seen with pink eye had pink skin around the whole eye and it was oozing white puss, not green snot. So my highly contagious child couldn’t go to daycare. On the upside, while the doctor examined Sophia’s ears it upset her so much she screamed and protested with her mouth open so that I could see the little tooth on the bottom that finally broke through the gums.

Today she was ok for most of the day, but when daddy got home from his nine day motorcycle trip Sophia threw up on him. Serves him right for not being here for the five hour Sunday night crying session. I should have got that on video for him. Make him listen to it on headphones - turned way up…for the whole five hours. I’m not bitter. No I’m not. Shut up.
