Things are looking up. Rachel was much better yesterday, though still running a low fever without Advil, so she stayed home. But today she woke up without a fever so she finally got to go back for her last two days of kindergarten. Yay!
Today's my husband's birthday, so I baked a cake this morning, and have birthday errands to finish up today.
Yesterday Rachel attempted to make her own cinnamon toast for breakfast. I mistakenly wasn't really paying much attention to what she was doing. The next thing I know, she has two pieces of toast slathered in butter (SO much butter) and probably 1/4 a cup of cinnamon clumped on top of the butter. I wish I had taken a picture. It was so funny. She didn't know that the cinnamon shaker had a shaker, so she unscrewed the whole top and just poured the cinnamon on ("it just came out SO fast, Mommy!"). And no sugar---she didn't know it was supposed to have sugar on it. So funny. I love that she's trying to do more things for herself (she just recently started doing her showers all by herself--it's like the end of an era, not having to give her a bath every night anymore--exciting, yet a little sad, too), but it's sometimes quite apparent that she's still a little girl, like when I looked at that toast yesterday.
She's about to lose one of her top two front teeth. She's lost four teeth on the bottom already, but none on top yet, and I'm just dreading it. The loss of that "little girl" look and the growth of those big adult teeth that are coming. Just another indication that she's not going to be a little girl for long!
