Our Baby Boyer 2: February 2018

We have had so many days off this month! The first started because I had a fever and had to stay home. I stayed with Mommy and then felt better to go to dance class that night, but didn't do anything. I wanted to do the crown dance but chose not to and then ended up throwing a fit and leaving early. Maybe I tried too soon. Less than two weeks later, I coughed so much I threw up three times at night and then three times the next day at nap at school. It seemed to be when I was laying down. I thought I was getting better and then I spiked a fever of 104 degrees. I was home another three days with Mommy or Daddy. We have also had a lot of late start days, and an early out day and a snow day in addition to the other days off.
I have gone on lots of errands this month, and went to a lot of Ellie's volleyball practices and games. I made a new friend (another player's little sister) and shared my toys with her even though it was hard to do. We got to visit Nana Arden after she broke her shoulder and it was hard not playing with her. Ellie has been able to have play dates and sleepovers, but I haven't. That doesn't stop me from trying to plan them though!
I really have been giving Mommy and Daddy and my teachers a run for their money. At school, I am often bossy and mean to my friends and sassy to adults. They are working to help teach me how to act. I do the same at home and with Ellie, but I am also not sleeping again. I am up most nights hours past my bedtime because I want to know what everyone else is doing in the house. I'm not sure how much patience Mommy and Daddy have left.
Daddy was gone at work one night, so we had a girls' night. We watched a movie, ate ice cream, and were going to have a sleepover in Ellie's room. I didn't want to sleep or stay in my sleeping bag so Ellie ended up going back to her room and Mommy led me back to my room again for hours. That didn't end well.
I did get to enjoy a Valentine's Day party and Mommy got to come for a little of it, and we celebrated Ellie's birthday a night early. Mommy had parent teacher conferences that week. The Moenkhoff's came to spend the night that Friday night and stayed for the family birthday party the next day. Ellie and I played nicely with Ashley and Ian for the most part. The family party was a lot of fun. I originally wanted a Rudolph party, but then kept changing my mind after the invitations went out (including volleyballs for Ellie.) I was pretty happy though once I saw the Rudolph cupcakes. I had so much fun opening my presents. I was happy with all of them, and remembered to say thank you before opening each one! I went to Ellie's friend volleyball birthday party the next day and did a really nice job playing with my own toys and staying out of the way.
We had another day off that Monday! Our family went to JC Penney's to get Ellie and my pictures taken and then out to Applebee's. I really enjoyed that treat and knew exactly what I wanted to order before walking in-macaroni and cheese and broccoli! I really liked to eat "Nice Krispie Treats" and still use my "rainbrella."
