You know the feeling....

the one you get when you feel like you've failed as a mom. Today I had to take Abby to Urgent Care with an ear infection and what might be the start of strep throat. She's had a fever since Tuesday night, but it would come and go. One morning she has a fever of 101.5, that afternoon it's gone. It went on day after day. There were no other symptoms. I asked about her throat, I asked about her head, I asked about her stomach. No other symptoms. Today she woke herself up from her nap screaming about her ear. Yep, her ear. Since her doctor's office closed at noon on Saturday, it was off to Urgent Care. We had the nicest doctor and we were home within the hour with medicine. Yep, I've learned something. Next time ask about the ear. This was Abby this morning. Yeah, it doesn't look like she has a really bad ear infection, does it? Anyway, don't you just love the orange and blue H. This girl loves her Hope College and she made this one all on her own without any help or incentive. :)
I know Easter is over, but we finally got around to coloring our eggs this morning. She loved it.
Here's the finished basket. It's amazing what you can get done when Grace takes a nap. Abby loved the one on one time too.
