Well, Ms. Bernhardt's winter break started a couple of days early due to Finley coming down with a mystery bacterial infection. Daycare called on Thursday morning during 1st hour and said Finners had a fever of 101 and had been crying since I dropped her off. I picked her up and took her to Urgent Care because all the doctors at our clinic were booked. When we got to the doctor, Finley's fever was at 103.5 and she was very sleepy. They swabbed her throat for strep, took a nasal swab for flu, took chest x-rays for pneumonia, tried to take a urine sample for a bladder infection, and took blood for whatever else it could be. Everything was negative, but her white cells were high which meant a bacterial infection. I took her home where she slept the rest of the day. I had to take her back to the doctor the next day for a follow-up, so I missed the day before winter break...I was really bummed ;) Anyway, Cam made Finners a little nest by the tree and she read and slept there until she felt better. Over the next couple of days, she donned some very interesting outfits. She truly loves hats, especially her baseball cap, and she will not go anywhere without her ladybug boots. She even sleeps in them because she won't let us take them off of her! She even had to have them on with her adorable hand-me-down skater outfit at Christmas in Waseca. Finley got lots of awesome stuff for Christmas, including a new table and chairs just her size, puzzles, books, shoes, a doctor kit, an aquadoodle, blocks, and her very fist map! She was a little jealous of Sadie's easel, though, since she simply adores drawing and the white board markers were lots of fun. Of all her gifts, her favorite might be the tiny Elmo doll she almost didn't open in her stocking. She won't go anywhere without it. She loves all her gifts, though, and has been playing her little heart out the last couple days. It's been fun for both Mommy and Finley to have new things to explore and do.
