Juggernaut's Portrait

Yesterday Cason did his first real drawing. He's sat down before and scribbled for a minute, and then gone off to play. But this time he sat down, put the Juggernaut down on the paper, to model for him, and started drawing. I don't know if it was his own idea, or if he's watched Paige when she gets things to set in front of her and draw them.

It was the first time I could recognize what he was drawing, there was a round body, and legs, which he drew while telling me "...and wong wegs!", and eyes and a mouth.
He gave it to me when he finished, and then got some more paper, to draw one for Paige. Sweet boy.

Neely had a doctor's appointment yesterday too. She was sick the last time we went, so she had to have her shots postponed, and they did them yesterday. She was pretty mad at us, but recovered quickly. Then she and I hung out in the waiting room because it was pouring rain and I parked at the FAR end of the parking lot. It didn't let up, so I finally had the girl at the desk hold Neely while I went to move the car closer. When I was buckling her in it was still pouring, so I was trying to block as much of the doorway as possible to keep her dry, and I was buckling her as fast as I could. So then, like a wonderful mom, I pinched her thigh in the buckle and made her cry again. Like three pokes in the chubby thighs wasn't enough pain for one day. :(
She was fairly happy the rest of the day, but we had our roughest night ever, last night, by far. I ended up hanging out on the couch in the living room with her all night, while she alternated sleeping and waking up all hot and sweaty and sad. When she was awake the only thing that helped was if I cuddled her and turned on Yo Gabba Gabba. We didn't sleep much, but miraculously she finally started smiling again around 8:30 this morning, and seems to be her sweet happy self again.
