what was I thinking?

this is Lane's first sippy cup - but not his last!

Why in the world did I pick out a pink and purple sippy cup! First off we were in a hurry and it was after Lane's doctor appointment yesterday. While I know many of you love Target ours is not my favorite place. For some reason I just don't like the store in Poughkeepsie. Anywho... I was looking for something just like this and it fit the bill and it was the only one on the shelf. Didn't even think to look for a different color because it was what I wanted and it was the only one. If it's the only one what choice is there to make other than to grab it fast before anyone else decides they want it too. Surely it wouldn't be worth my time to make someone go look for another in the back room. So when I got it home I noticed that the packaging was yellow and blue, but the cup was pink and purple! He doesn't want it at this point, but if it goes to daycare he might be a bit more interested. I really wanted it because I was told he could start having water and juice and I would rather he drink those out of something other than his bottles. I also wanted a straw cup not a nipple he could chew off - Lane loves to chew stuff right now.
anyway.. Lane has coxsaxie, which I didn't know about until I picked him up from daycare to go to his 6 month well visit. So much for shots - he was off the hook and we'll go back in a couple weeks to get them. So far he's pretty happy for having a fever. If only it was sunny today so I could enjoy the pool or something. Can we say pouring rain that is threatening to overflow our pool? This is our first time not being able to go to school and he can't go back until he's fever free for 24 hours. I always wondered how kids make it back into school after one day home sick. hmmm.. I think I figured it out. Anyone care to take a stab at that one? So far Lane has been fever free since his last dose of advil at 2:00 am (for the record!). Although a Friday at home is pretty appealing. Never mind that it's one of my vacation days. For that I should be rewarded with some sunshine and nice weather!
