Better than diaper cream....

Last year I caught a lot of flak for the diaper cream that was in Aubrey's basket. This year her basket was filled with more "fun" things. She got a white chocolate bunny, a vanilla See's lollipop, cereal bars, fruit twists, a pink Angels monkey all the way from California, slice and bake cookies for her kitchen and an electric toothbrush! She loved the monkey - she picked him up and kissed him! Next came the white bunny and then the lollipop. She cared less about everything else once she saw the lollipop!

She got a few licks of the lollipop and then wanted Brian's jelly bellies. He shared a few with her which she loved. Sadly that turned out to be her dinner. We had a house full of friends: Jeremy, Eunice, Sara, Natalie, Russell, Katherine, Mark A., Don, Laurie and Mark G. He had a huge spread: ham, jello salad, caramel buns, mashed potatoes, sweet potato casserole, green bean casserole, quiche, pasta salad, french bread, pineapples in jello and carrots. Aubrey wanted nothing to do with any of it. I took her out of her chair and she came to sit on my lap and ended up falling asleep. Now if you know Aubrey you know she never wants to miss anything and will do anything she can to stay awake. Turns out she was running a temp of 102.2. Poor kid was super warm but she was a trooper. She hung out on my lap for the rest of the night quietly listening to everyone and watching Natalie play with all of the fun toys. Before bed she was down to 100 so hopefully she won't spike back up. Seems like nasty little bugs always seem to find her on holidays.....
