day three: accident free

but we have other problems... i mentioned yesterday that madelyn was running a fever, well that carried over to today (you can see how much fun she was having this morning). she kept saying that she felt fine, but the fever was definitely wearing her out and she didn't want to eat anything.

she kept complaining that her "teeth hurt". when she was saying it at dinner and crying when she tried to eat a tortilla, i asked her to show me which teeth hurt. she pointed to her front teeth but i didn't see anything. when she showed daddy which teeth hurt he noticed that her throat looked red. i couldn't believe how swollen it was when i looked! we called the doctor's office and she and daddy headed out a half-hour later.

the doctor thought for sure that she had strep, but the test came back negative. it is definitely something viral though and we need to keep her home until her fever breaks. i am just glad to have the mystery solved.

somehow she managed to stay accident free all day! she even woke up with a dry pull-up. and tonight she didn't want to wear one, so we'll see what happens tonight.

today i noticed that she has three freckles. two on her right thigh and one on her right check near her eye. normally i wouldn't have really noticed them but lorelai (madelyn's blog friend) recently had some show up so i have been watching for them. madelyn's response, "mommy, take it off". love.
