Twice Shy

This afternoon, Abby got her second set of shots. I was prepared for the heartbreaking cries, so I was a lot better when she started. The first shot, she was pretty good. She cried but not the pain cry. But the second shot, she did. But I comforted her and by the time we were all done and I was putting her into her car seat, she was smiling again. She's got some dry patches on her skin so I'm going to have to haul out the ol' Vaseline and plaster her with it! I had to fill out a survey about how she's developing. The questions were all about if she grabs at things, does she laugh, does she smile, does she turn her head etc. The last question was "Is there anything about your child that worries you? If yes, explain." I was about to check no when I looked at her. I wanted to check yes and say everything. Will she be a happy person? Will she make friends? Will those friends be good people? Will she fall in with the wrong crowd? Will she be confident with herself? Will she get an attitude? Will we fight? But since I didn't have enough room on the paper, I checked no and handed the nurse my paper. She's developing on track for now.

Yesterday, it snowed. A lot. Thick, heavy, wet snow. Mark was so nice and brushed of the truck before he left for work so I wouldn't have to when I left for Abby's appointment. However, it snowed in the morning, so I still had to brush. But it wasn't as much as I would have had to. So, yeah Mark! The trees look really pretty with the coat of snow on them. But as my dad would say, "It ain't pretty, it just looks that way."
