Washing little girls' clothes

One lesson I quickly learned about little girls clothes: You have to wash all pieces of the same outfit at the same time. Many of Elsi's outfits consist of two pieces, especially dresses and bloomers. If you don't wash them both together, one will inevitably get pink because of other stuff in the load with it! How did I come to know this, you might ask? Not telling. . .

Elsi's first fever

Elsi has a fever tonight, somewhere around 102.5, but since I don't like to do the rectal thermometer, I don't know the exact temperature. I gave her Tylenol; hopefully, it helps. She seemed mostly okay today, but tonight, she was a little more whiny than usual -- not upset, just puny.

I'm slowly learning to trust my "mom-sense". Usually, when I think they might have a temp., they do. I like that I can use that hunch to make an educated guess when it comes to the welfare of my children!

Milestones

Elsi just rolled over, all by herself, back to tummy. This is the first roll that I knew for sure wasn't a fluke, because she was laying on her back on the floor -- she got no help from the surface she was on or because I propped her up on her elbows. She did it!
