Changes and discoveries

Eva has a rash around her mouth... it came right after her eye teeth started coming in and she was drooling and had a runny nose. But, it hasn't gone away 3 weeks later. So, this afternoon, I took her to her Doctor. He said it was just a combination of excema and drooling etc. I am suppose to use some vasaline and hydrocortizone cream for a couple of weeks and see what happens. In any case, my daughter actually likes her Doctor. She thought he was cool and let him do whatever he wanted. However, she hates the nurse. Hates her, hates her, hates her. As soon as the door opened and she saw the nurse she started screaming. Her face turned red, huge tears came rolling down and tortured noises spewed forth. Despite the candy the nurse gave her, she didn't want anything to do with her. She did stop crying when the nurse left the room. I feel kind of bad for the nurse. In any case, Eva, who is 21 months old, weighs 29 lbs and is 34 inches tall. I had to buy her a new pair of shoes today also... a size 7 1/2. Seriously, are her feet big for her age?

This morning, Eva found David's deoderant. He left it on the bathroom counter which, now that Eva has a stepstool, is completely accessible to her. She was delighted when she was able to pop the cover off. She liberally applied some to her belly, then to my belly, and to our cat Ginger. Yes, Ginger thought she'd come into the bathroom and get a drink of water, instead she got gussied up. I wonder what David will think when he discovers the long red cat hairs in his deoderant. After Eva was done applying the deoderant, she managed to get ahold of David's electric razer (fortunately she hasn't figured out how to turn it on) and shaved her chin with it. She even made sound effects so that she new it was working. Her hygeine is impeccable.

On Tuesday, Mrs. J told me that Eva woke up during her nap. She stood up on her matt, she didn't make a sound but tears streamed down her cheeks. She said that Eva's eye's were glazed over and she was obviously still sound asleep. I wonder if my daughter walks in her sleep... I know that she talks in her sleep. And, there is that one morning that David and I mysteriously found her curled up on the floor of our room... we never heard her get out of bed and she never woke us up or cried like she would if she were awake or had fallen out. There are so many things to discover about her.
