It's Friday. We have class tonight. Hope is coming to watch Madeleine.
She's in a great mood right now. She did not want to take an afternoon nap but we made her stay in her crib. She slept for about 40 minutes and has been in a great mood. One thing that helps is that she loves drinking milk (cow's) now from her sippy cup. So since I'm down to 2 nursings a day - morning and night - she's drinking more milk. I say that it helps because I think having her sippy cup near her to dink whenever she feels a little hungry is keeping her happier. It makes sense to me. The problem is that I've noticed when she's drinking milk she doesn't eat as well at meals.
She loves grilled cheese. I'm glad she likes it because it's really easy and fast to make for her. However, I'm not thrilled about her eating white bread, butter and processed cheese. She ate a whole sandwich for lunch today.
Yesterday I got more birthday gifts. A package came from my parents with a great sweater vest, black long sleeve t-shirt and cookies. Phil went to METRO for some stuff we needed and came back with stuff for me, too - a teapot, Pringles, raspberry jam, and chickpeas. The chickpeas I had asked him to pick up but the rest was just nice stuff that he wanted to get me. The teapot is beautiful, shiny and big. I've already used it twice today.
The weather here has been awful. It's humid, hot and polluted. For the last few days we haven't seen any blue sky or the buildings across town because of the smog. It's gross. I can't wait until it clears out and we have cool days. I know it's possible because it's happened a few times since we've been here. That blue sky is up there somewhere.
Tomorrow I may get a facial at 5 Sisters. My skin has been really yucky since we got here. I'm not sure if it's the pollution or the water. The facials are a lot cheaper than the massages. It's still an hour long and they massage your head and neck. It sounds great and I hope that it will help my skin. If it does than I may need to get a frequent shoppers card. Hee! Hee!
I'm trying a new recipe tonight - Chicken and Apple Curry. It's a simple stir-fry. I'd better get it started.
