update on the little miss

After yesterday’s nonsense of blood oozing from the mouth, a rash breaking out all over her abdomen and face I made a doctor’s appointment just to be safe. After looking her over and me going into detail about being concerned about her having blood in her mouth over the past week he looked in her mouth and said she has a viral mouth infection. She has sores on the back of her tongue and are most likely what are causing the blood, she has canker sores on the side of her cheek and tongue. I feel like the worst damn parent. I don’t even know where she could have gotten this, kids pick-up and touch the most disgusting things so it could have been contracted anywhere. The rash is a result of a fever, which everytime we checked her temp she was fine but apparently this is what caused the rash. Now we just have to wait it out and let the infection run it’s course. We just have to watch her to make sure she is taking in fluids, food and not having a hard time breathing. So far, so good. My poor baby! 

Besides Payton and this little infection you would have no idea she is feeling under the weather. Everyday she says more words and has gotten into some two and three word phrases. She has been dancing and jumping like a crazy girl, chasing her doggy and expressing her attitude a little more each day. Like today for instance, I was unloading the dishwasher and it seemed to be a little silent so I stuck my head into her bedroom. I didn’t see her but I saw baby powder everywhere! I peeked my head in a little further trying to catch her red handed and what was she doing? The little booger was in her closet shaking the bottle of baby powder all in the box of toys stored inside. I said, “hi” in a really low voice and she turned slightly around and gave me the biggest grin and said “me funny”. It was actually kind of funny, so I explained how we shouldn’t make messes and that she would have to play in it for a minute so I could finish the kitchen. As I made my way back to her room I saw perfume and a coloring book being thrown from my dresser. I walked in there and she was taking her go-go-gadget arms and taking everything off of my dresser. Okay, she’s testing my limits. I remain calm, I told her to follow me to get the vacuum because she was going to help me clean up her mess, well once I started up the vacuum she started screaming so I began sweating my ass off cleaning up baby powder that was everywhere. Once I was done with that mess I heard beads hitting the hardwood and knew automatically she was in the dining room. She climbed up onto the table and grabbed a tube of beads I had for the headbands I was making and she was throwing the beads all over the floor. Getting mad now. I freaked out actually, I am sure there was a moment my neighbors thought about calling CPS because I was yelling so badly. Payton of course took off as I cleaned up mess #3 and as I made it through the kitchen to the living room I peered down and saw her sippy cup and water all over the floor. I didn’t even say anything I just picked up the phone and text to Jim to get home because I was a hot mess and I knew P was just trying to test her limits. I told her to go to her room for a time out and she got up on her bed and cried. I had all four messes cleaned up and then we went and had a conversation. She just looked at me and said, “okay”. This little being while she truly tested her limits today is really growing into a little girl. It is so much fun each day with how much she comprehends and expresses, while I used to be super scared about having two children under two, while only for a month I know she is going to be a great big sister because she is growing up so much! Even if she does give me heart attacks with her messes it’s just apart of her growing into her little self. 

 Asking me “why?” as I took the powder away. 

This picture is kind of creepy looking, she looks like she has a disease because of the chalkiness. You can kind of see the red splotches.
