Whew!

It's been a while since Babcia's visit, I know. Zofia had an ear infection last week, with fevers and grumpiness and pain. That was not fun. She was on Tylenol and Advil almost constantly for 3 days to control her fever. She is now over half way done with the antibiotics and it is becoming increasingly difficult to get her to take them. She used to like medicine. The few times we have had to give her Tylenol, she eagerly sucked it out of the syringe. Even the first couple of doses of Amoxicillin, which smells like bubble gum and probably tastes like it too, went down without a problem. After about the 3rd day, though, she fights me on it, turning her head and closing her lips tight. Recently, she realized I could get the syringe in the corner of her mouth no matter how hard she tried to keep her lips closed. Plan B. She completely relaxed and let me give her the medicine, then she spit it out! Smart cookie.
Here she is overseeing Daddy's assembly of her new table. She is now standing up without a problem and climbing the first two steps on our stairs with no difficulty.



And here she is demonstrating one of the many uses of the new table.
