Dilly's wrist is much better and the pediatrician didn't find mention of a fracture in the Urgent care's formal report and Dilly was acting like it hurt her so much less that we took off the splint, she has a bad infection on the side of her hand where the splint had pinched it and that took an additional 2 weeks to heal but she's backup to full speed now.

Up-wanting to get out of her crib first thing in the morning.

She was even singing her own quite version of the ABC song...

So cute, and she does hear it a lot from her older sister.

Her favorite song is "The Wheels on the Bus" as no matter how loud she is crying and for how long, that song always calms her down (at least while we are singing....) She also knows several of the hand motions that go with the song.

Word of the day:

Cup "Cu"
Cracker "Cra"

Mischief and trouble...

Elnorra went down for her quiet time quite nicely, except that she didn't really go down, in fact she woke up her sister and took her out of the crib and started playing with her.

Dilly was outside playing and decided that a cactus looked like a nice thing to touch. She's already woken up several times in the night to voice her discomfort.

I have used tweezers and scotch tape, and I'm sure I've improved the situation, but I just read a medical journal online (http://dermatology.cdlib.org/DOJvol7num2/unknown/cholla/cholla2.html) that says that tape can make the situation worse by only breaking off the top, not removing the barb. This article recommends removing the tiny cacti spines is to first use tweezers and then use Elmer's glue, let dry completely and then peel off. Now that's a good idea, but just how am I going to keep a 19 month old still long enough for the stuff to dry? Sneak up on her while she's sleeping and wake up to find it in her hair an everywhere else she's flopped! Trust me she moves a lot when sleeping.

Dilly's words of the day:
Dog
Cat

Dilly's Word of the Day:
"Boon" Baloon
