This week couldn't have looked more different than we expected. Justin is out of school on Easter break, and we had a list of family activites that we wanted to do each day. Tuesday night Abigail got the sniffles, and by Wednesday morning it was a full-fledged cold. (It amazes me how quickly little ones get sick.) By Thursday afternoon, Abigail had a temperature of 102 degrees. After a trip to the doctor, we discovered that she has an ear infection in her left ear. She has been the most miserable I have ever seen her. But, the good news is, she is on the mend. On the other hand, the bad news is we have been on quarentine all week, and didn't get to do one of the things on our list. "Plan B" has been to watch the NCAA basketball tournament. Justin wasn't too disappointed with "plan B." So, in the spirit of March Madness, we all filled out tournament brackets. Yes, even Abigail filled out a bracket. We gave her two toys to choose from, one representing the higher ranked team and the other representing the lower ranked team. Apparently she likes to root for the underdog. In the process of filling out her bracket, we came to the conclusion that Abigail just might be left handed. The winner of the bracket contest wins a new DVD. Let's hope I take the prize. I can only handle so many sports drama's and war movies.
Despite the cold, we have been trying to teach Abigail to wave and clap. The following video is the results of our efforts. (We could be in trouble is this is the outcome of our parenting.)
