Double Whammy

Amelia did not sleep well last night. She kept digging in her ears and seemed to be unable to lie prone due to pain. Just as expected she ended up having two ear infections. The doctor threw a curve ball when she told me Amelia also had Hand-Foot-Mouth disease, contracted through some one's infected saliva or mucus. Due to incubation period she probably contracted it during Nursery on Sunday. I was really worried about the other kids we came in contact with throughout the week, especially little Lia and Amelia's friend Kate. I am not sure she actually has the HFM disease since she never ran a fever or exhibited a rash, the only sign were sores on the back of her mouth. At least that explained her reluctance to eat or drink the past two days. Poor thing! Still she is a pretty happy camper during the day.

One more thing: Amelia learned to twirl! How fun is that?

Yesterday Amelia and I went to Charity's home to photograph both her preschool classes, a total of 13 kids. Amelia had a blast during singing time and playing with all the toys and bigger kids. She kept checking to make sure I was around! I love how each child has a completely different personality. Fun times.
