Finally Alex seems to be feeling a little better. No fever Monday or Tuesday, and she went to daycare yesterday and today. Still has a cough and runny nose, but she is acting more like herself everyday.
That said, she has been more clingy and whiny the last few days. Bedtime usually isn't a problem but has been more of a fight for a couple nights. Last night we were going through the normal routine and she seemed to be asleep. Then she was crying. Michele reset her and she feigned sleep again. Then she was crying. We decide to just let her cry it out for a few minutes.
The next thing I know, she is standing in her crib sobbing and screaming, "Dada...dada...dada..." over and over again. For the record, I'm a sucker. I went back in and she finally went to sleep for good (and slept through the night for the first time in a week).
I think I'm in trouble... she already knows how to manipulate me...

About us...
Michele, Wes, Alexandra... we are not bloggers per se. We started this blog when Michele was diagnosed with breast cancer and Alex was born within a couple days of each other. What started as a way to keep people informed without having to talk about it all the time has become both cathartic and fun. It is at times about cancer. It is at times about how damned cute Alex is. It is at times about charts, friends, woodchucks, family, work, toys, and vacations. This is life... as we know it.

How adorable! She is so cute with all of her teeth...and talking, talking, talking. Wow..she is growing up so fast. We are so glad she is feeling better. We hope you and Michele are too! Thinking of you.
Glad she's feeling better!fils
Oops, that "fils" was supposed to be part of my word verification and ended up in the wrong box. Well, glad she's feeling better, son!
It is not manipulation, it is inborn intelligence. She was afraid and she wanted her Da. And good for both of you that you are there for her. What a lucky child!
She is so cute. For the record, I would have caved too, just because she had been sick for so long. Hopefully she will get back to her normal night time sleep pattern soon. good to hear she is feeling better.
She's so lovely. I'm glad she's feeling better.
