The Happiest Girl

Another busy week. Right now it is almost 8 AM and dead silent in our house, very rare. Reagan is exhausted from yesterday. She finally seemed to kick the cold she has been carrying around for about 7 weeks and I took the day off so she could get vaccinations. We both hate vaccinations. She had to get two shots in both legs and I have NEVER heard her cry like she did. I cried. A lot. I don't think the nurse knew what to do with me. Reagan recovered faster than I did. The whole vaccination thing is so scary and I am not sure we made the right choice yesterday, but sometimes you just have to do the best you can and have faith. I think I will be praying a lot this weekend.

We are hosting a shin dig tonight so after that we ran errands all day. Tedious, but totally entertaining. I think Roo's favorite store is Home Depot. She loves the people and noise. As we cruised around she just smiled and waved at everyone like a prom queen. We are apparently all on this earth just to play and entertain her.

When we finally got home Roo took a long nap and I hopped onto a conference call. Then she ate dinner and got a second wind. She ran from the kitchen with her sippy cup of milk (big accomplishment that she is even considering drinking milk from a cup) and into the living room. While I was doing dishes I could hear Kerry laughing and as I peeked into the room there was Roo right in the middle just spinning in a circle laughing. She has been doing this lately when she is happy or dancing. She just stands up and starts spinning. She can only do it for a little bit until she gets so dizzy she falls down. I think we watched her for about 20 minutes just laughing. Such a simple thing, that I love so much and am so grateful to have.
