So, Anya was pretty much fine all week. Then, for some reason Thursday night after her second soccer game, I noticed that it seemed she had a stuffy nose again. Sure enough Friday, she was stuffy and having a runny nose most of the day. However, she never complains about not feeling well and she took some Tylenol and decongestant with no problems. So, Saturday afternoon, I start feeling the same problem come on. My throat was a little dry and sore feeling and then the stuffy nose hit me. I didn’t sleep well the past 3 nights so I’m under the impression that if Anya catches a slight cold and I’m tired, I catch the cold very easily. Oh well, it doesn’t seem as bad as the last cold we had back in July so hopefully we will be over it soon and hopefully Arwen won’t catch it. In other news, my brother and sister in law came up Friday which was nice because I had not seen him since Christmas. We just hung around our house but we got to visit and he got to play with the girls.
I actually got my Mom to sit down and watch Twilight with me as well. I think she liked it okay, considering its mostly for the younger crowd, even younger than me actually, but not quite at Anya’s speed. Although there really is nothing bad in the movie and Anya has informed me she likes the part where the girl gets bit! I think she just enjoys seeing that she gets rescued by Edward, so even at age 4 she can tell what’s going on in the ever popular series of Twilight.
I’m sure she’ll be delving into reading the books by age 8!
Speaking of reading, Anya can read several words now. I’m not sure if she fully understands the words yet, but she knows how to read the words, door, window, big, small, up, down, dog, and cat. Probably because I have note cards around the house with these words on them. But, hey at least she’s reading….
She also started her soccer games. The first game was interesting because Anya really doesn’t have an aggressive bone in her body and neither does the rest of her team. So they were pretty content to just run around after the ball. Anya did get 1 goal, for the other team, but a goal’s a goal to a 4 year old! We really enjoy the games and Travis has become the video Dad, he’s recording all her games!
He won some really cool software at a conference recently so I think he’s secretly recording the games so he can create a really cool montage with his new software. So, we all get something out it actually.
Arwen’s crawling…everywhere! We have started baby proofing most of the house. She’s also getting two of her bottom front teeth, so she’s been real pleasant the past few days as those little suckers break the skin. Bless her heart she looks like there’s a water faucet attached to her bottom lip she’s drooling like a camel! But a very cute camel!
