To my little baby girl. You probably won't remember this day, but you woke up with a new molar breaking through on the bottom and it didn't feel good at all.

They're sending stuff out, and I think they're figuring the strep culture will be pos. even though the quick test was neg. Strep has been all over the daycare ( Read more... )

happypete says he will do the cleaning. It needs to be done tonight as we have more 4H and music stuff tomorrow. Not to mention it would sure be nice to do at least one thing fun and relaxing on the weekend.
