Vic's Sick

I knew she was coming down with a cold on Friday because she woke up and had a little congested cough; however, she always fools me by never letting it get her down (conversely, when I'm sick, I whine and moan and act like the world's coming to an end). So, this weekend I thought she'd be okay...and she was on Friday night, except she went to be at like 6:30pm (way earlier than her usual 7:30-8:00pm). Saturday we went to the park with a friend and her daughter. This was the first time I've taken Vic to a playground (It's finally cooling off to a decent temperature where a kid can go down a slide without burning their butt off.) She had a blast going down the slide and bouncing around on the bouncy toys...but the hit of the playground was the swing. She LOVES the swing. Since the weather is now in the mid 80s I plan to take her to the park/playground every weekend to capitalize on this new finding!

I've also discovered that apparently I am what you would call a "caffeine kick" for Victoria. You may wonder what I mean by this, well, I'll tell you. Victoria is what I call a kinesthetic and spatial learner. She loves to "touch" and "do." Most kids are probably this way, but I would argue that Victoria is extreme. However, Tony tells me different.....apparently when I'm not around, Victoria will sit and watch the Cosby Show and cuddle with Tony. I have yet to see Vic watch t.v. or even look at the t.v. for that matter. And, she only cuddles when she's asleep! So, I've determined that I must be her java for the day because she's so excitable when I'm around. This is why she exhausts me!!!!
