The past week Hadley has displayed some behaviors that are reminiscent of her two year old days. I won’t go into detail, mainly because I don’t want to relive it, but it has just not been pretty. Eric and I have put her on lock down mode and we are starting some rewards based “scheduling” with her so that we can get some things back on track. So far, so good. Today we had an appointment and she did great. She was immediately rewarded with stickers, praise and one on one time with mommy. We really wanted to lay it on thick these first couple days just so she will see how much fun she can have when she is good. We must have had a lot of fun because today, she conked out around 4:15pm. Getting her to bed tonight is probably going to be rough, but I don’t care. She needed the sleep, and I have needed the break.

And, like always, anytime the girls are going to see Grandma and Papa, one of them gets some sort of sickness. Zoey Belle is coughing away. Three little babies from church have had RSV and have been hospitalized for it, so she is going in tomorrow morning to get it all checked out. I think she is probably fine, but just in case, we are going to get it checked. The starts aligned for us because usually we cannot get in to see our doctor for weeks and once you are there you wait for an average of an hour because she is ALWAYS running behind. Tomorrow though, she had numerous appointments available (that NEVER happens!!!) and one happened to be the first appointment of the day!!!!! Can you tell I am excited about this? It is the price we pay to have good health care in small town USA where there is an overabundance of incompetent doctors. (You know the ones that throw prescriptions at you for all the symptoms instead of getting down to the problem? Yah, I don’t love them.)

On a side note, I bought the girls the most adorable Easter dresses at Target. It was too much to bear and I could not walk away from them. Hadley wanted to wear hers all day and I kept telling her no because I want to get some cute pictures first before they are destroyed.

Eric and I are on the verge of going crazy because we are so excited about our upcoming vacation and time is just creeping by. I am in the middle of packing up everything and hoping to get the house cleaned before we leave so our house sitter isn’t totally grossed out by us. I will try to update the blog again before we leave so no one is terribly worried about our little Zoey Belle. She is a trooper.
