Derek's parents came out last Friday and stayed a week. Maya enjoyed having more people around to read to her and take her for walks. She liked to hold on to two hands, take a few steps, then switch people. On Saturday, we went to the beach. Just like last time, Maya loved it. With the sand to dig in and the water to splash in, she thinks it's great. On Sunday, we picked up a used "bike" for Maya. It was a good deal ($15) and I had been looking for more outdoor toys. She seems into it since Derek usually rides his bike with his hat to work. She hasn't quite figured out how to push it forward, but she can ring the bell and go backwards. On Tuesday, Maya's last molar finally cut through. She's been sleeping a lot better this week, only waking once and giving us 7 hours at a time. Also on Tuesday, I picked up the fp little people house off of the clearance rack. I was originally planning on getting it for her birthday or Christmas but couldn't pass up the deal. And then she found it in the garage and I'm a sucker. She's really enjoyed it so far. It has a potty in the bathroom that makes a flushing sound. She thinks it's great. She kept trying to stick her little bottom in there saying potty and flush. Ah, funny stuff that will embarrass her one day. This combined with her general obsessed with the toilet right now, we decided to pick her up a little potty on Wednesday. She likes to sit on it for a few seconds, carry it around, make her toys sit on it. She also tried to wear it as a hat and put her feet in it. Wednesday, we also grilled out. Then that night went to watch fireworks. Maya loved them. She kept saying pretty, boom, ball kick. She was so mesmerized by them she sat still in my lap and almost fell asleep watching them. Then she wanted milk. She fell asleep on the way home but it was several hours later than she normally goes down. We were afraid she would be cranky Thursday.
In the true fashion of our family, it's not a holiday until someone gets sick. I started feeling bad during the fireworks and was sick overnight through the morning. I still felt tired and not really into food into the evening but felt much better after sleep. Maya was cranky on Thursday but we were hoping it was just lack of sleep from the night before. But then she woke up every two hours or so, didn't want me to put her down, and I noticed she felt warm. She spent half the night sleeping on top of me, wouldn't let me move her without screaming. She's had a fever all day. It's been really high tonight and drugs aren't doing much to it. She doesn't seem to be having the tummy trouble I was so we aren't sure what's going on. She's just been a little whiny and clingy. She cried multiple times today to go to the beach. She would say beach, beach, shoes, beach. So pitiful. I'm guessing she didn't feel well and probably had a fever on Thursday. I feel bad for not checking sooner.
