Just A Nice Day With Erika

Today Erika's schedule was so off. But then again that really seems to happen each weekend! She woke up really early before 5:00 and it took a little effort from both of us to get her back to sleep. However, in Erika's defense she woke up because she was coughing so much. Last night I was unable to give her the Singulair medication which helps with the cough so I think that is why she was coughing so much this morning. Anyway, we were able to get her back to sleep till I think about 7:00.
I made some yummy pancakes for breakfast and then headed out to run a few errands. I thought for sure in the 3 hours that I was gone that Erika would have taken a nap for Daddy. No such luck. When I came home after setting up the church for coffee hour, I walked in to Erika wide awake! So then I gave her a bath and then put her in for a late nap.After her two hour nap, I took her out to buy a Mother's Day gift for Peter's mom. Of course it will be mailed late. I have no idea when I became the person that sends things late...but I see it happening way too often. As usual, Erika and I had a very nice time walking around the outlets. I still have not figured out what it is that makes that such a nice time, but both of us really like it.Erika was excited because I finally bought her the Nemo she had been wanting. I wanted to wait till I got paid to buy it for her and so I did. She really REALLY loves it! Her crib is getting a bit crowded at this point and I will need to remove some animals. Tonight she has Barney(he's a regular), 3 monkeys, a purple Teddy Bear and now Nemo and the turtle from that movie! YIKES...is there any room left for her? I think when I go tuck her in for the night (which I always do before I go to sleep) I will take some of the crew out of there!And...I almost forgot that Erika was outside helping Daddy feed the lawn...
