Hard on Iris

We're nearly through the first week at the new daycare for Iris. It's been harder for her than I thought it would be. She's prone to crying fits and bouts of clinginess. Her stubbornness is manifesting in her refusal to eat her lunch.

This morning she started crying once we walked through the front door of the daycare, and she continued till I left her. She was outright bawling, crying out for mommy and daddy, hugging my legs, and putting up her arms signaling me to pick her up. I'm hoping this won't last much longer but doubtful it'll stop overnight.

I don't need a nap

This is on the 20 minute drive home from the train station after she refused to sleep at all on the 3-1/2 hour train ride from Portland-Seattle.

Iris virus update

She's had a fever and bad cough since last Wednesday. The doctor says she's got some bacterial or viral infection in her lungs (maybe pneumonia). She's on antibiotics now and I think it's working already because she slept through the night for the first time since she's been sick. She's been home recovering, spending quality time with Dad.
