Katie's still sick. I took her to the doctor yesterday afternoon, because she was passing mortar-covered stools (which I have never seen in either her or Amelia). We think that she has some nasty stomach bug, most likely picked up from Saturday's visit to Chuck E. Cheese. The doctor agrees. If she's not better by Monday, we'll do a stool collection and blood draw, since he's worried she may have liver inflammation.

In positive news, Amelia continues to wear panties around the house. This is our 3rd day. She hasn't done her business yet in the potty, but she's getting closer. She feels the urge and sprints for the potty. :D She's rewarded after each potty try with 1 (generic) M&M. Why generic? To keep Tom away from them. ;)

Last night, Tom came home from work and watched the kids while I went out to do whatever. I had a quiet dinner out at Jason's Deli while I read. Then I wandered through Michaels and Barnes and Noble. It was delicious.

This weekend is chock full of birthday parties. Tom will be staying home with Katie while I take Amelia to them. They may join us if Katie has a dramatic change, but I'm not holding my breath.
