If you don't watch Futurama, you should start. I promise this story would be a lot funnier if you do...
Everytime Stephanie tells me something, she adds her name onto the end.
Today in the van, she said, "I want to play on the computer when we get home. Stephanie."
On Futurama, it's Bender who does this - he'll say something like, "I thought of that. Me - Bender."
She doesn't add the "Me" part yet. But we're hopeful she'll start doing that. We are already calling her "Bender" though.

The Mummy Returns
I don't know how this girl does it.
She scraped up her right knee last week - I think it was on Monday. And every time it looks like it's going to heal up - she falls on it again!
She actually scraped the scab off of it today. Nasty! ~ shudder ~
Band-aids won't stay on very well because it's a knee and she keeps moving it.
So I went and bought some of that liquid spray-on bandage. I sprayed it on and, apparently, it burns! So I washed it right off and put another regular band-aid on.
If this doesn't heal up soon, I'm going to get some tape and gauze and mummify her knee.

Allergy Update
It was an allergic reaction to the sunscreen. After I posted the last post, her face, neck, arms, chest, and back all were covered with a rash. It looked a lot like the rash I got when I had my allergic reaction to Vicodin and whatever that other medicine was.
She looked awful on Sunday. And I was worried about Monday because I remembered my 2nd day was worse than the first but I was hoping the Benedryl would help.
Monday was worse. Poor little thing. She woke up and she was so itchy and sad. I gave her some Benedryl to drink and put some Benedryl lotion on her arms. My poor Sweetheart looked at me and cried, "I don't want my arms to be like this forever!" About broke my heart.
Then the medicine kicked in and she relaxed a little. She basically just sat on the couch and watched cartoons all day. We did have to go to the library after the kids got out of school but she was feeling better by then.
She took a good nap in the afternoon but just could not fall asleep at night. Therefore, Meredith also could not fall asleep. I ended up getting Stephanie up and letting her play in the living room for awhile before putting her back to bed.
Then I laid down with her for a little while. And she asked me the question that must have been weighing heavily on her mind: "Are unicorns made out of horses?"
I told her yes, they are. And she went right to sleep.
This morning, she looks SOOOO much better. Her rash is all but gone and her face isn't swollen anymore either. I'm still going to give her Benedryl today - she's still itching a little but she's feeling much better.

Poor Little Face
UPDATE: I bought my baby some Benedryl (oral and lotion). It seems to be helping. And now it is naptime.

We had a great time at the Bikeathon and at Grandma & Grandpa's yesterday. The girls played in Grandpa's ditch and dug holes with shovels.
I'm not sure if she just got too much sun yesterday or if she has allergies (I know I was sneezing) but this is how she woke up this morning.

Her little face looked a bit swollen this morning. It doesn't look quite as bad now and John told me I was just seeing things so I'm just watching her for now. I don't think it's an allergic reaction to the sunscreen (like Meredith) because her arms and legs seem fine.

More Flamingo Love
My baby girl has never had her own sheets for her bed. She had some Strawberry Shortcake ones but they came from Meredith and are now VERY worn. So, Mommy found her some sheets online. (I don't normally shop online but these were cheap and I knew I'd never find what I was looking for around town.)
They are FLAMINGO sheets! I love it! I don't know where she got this love for flamingos but I think it's really cool!
