Hello Strep...Goodbye Binky!

Mama picked me up last Monday after my first day as a Lightning Bug and my teacher told her that I had been acting different since I woke up from my nap. When mama got me home, I had a fever of 103 and was feeling really yucky. Daddy stayed home with me on Tuesday but I felt horrible. I didn't want to eat anything at all and keep signing for "milk". Mama got home from work and could tell something more was wrong than just an ear infection so she took me to urgent care to get checked out. I ended up having strep throat (and let me tell you how much I HATED when the doctor shoved that dang stick down my throat!!) and an ear infection. =( No wonder I felt like crap. I stayed home with either mom or dad through Thursday. I was feeling so much better on my antibiotics and finally started eating again. Mama was really happy because she was really sad seeing how sick I was. =(

On Friday, Mama took me over to Khalielah's house so she could watch me for the morning while she finished stuff up at work. Mama said I was well enough to go to school but since it was already Friday and I had such a tough week, she felt more comfortable keeping me out of school for one more day since I could also have the weekend to get better. I had so much fun playing with Mahalia! Khalielah said I was a good girl, even though I really missed my mom!

Having fun pushing around our babies....





Girls lunch!




I decided while I was sick that I hated my binkster so mama put them all away. I have even found some laying around the house and I take them over to one of my parents because I really don't want a binky anymore. =) Mama said she was so proud of me and very surprised at how quickly I took myself off of it. However, she said she is also said that one of the few "baby" things I had left is gone now too. Growing up is so fun!!!

Emma,

You are such a big girl giving up your binky. We know it was probably easier while you were sick. Mema and Grandpa are very proud of you. You are letting everyone know that you are not a BABY any longer. :-(

Big hugs and kisses,
Mema and Grandpa Rai

aww! i just read this about the binky. your mommy told me when you came to my house that you weren't using it while you were sick, but i didn't know you stopped it COMPLETELY. what a big girl! you're much more mature than your friend mahalia. she just stopped her hoss-hoss (her name for binky) yesterday and it was really hard for her. i should have just asked you to tell her it was time to grow up! haha! you are too cute and i loved getting to spend time with you!! let's get together again soon...before your mama goes back to work? we love you!!
