Yesterday Madison started her swimming classes. She was VERY cranky that morning and I just figured I didn't let her play in her crib long enough after she woke up and she was not happy with me. Fed her her breakfast, dressed her for swimming and out the door we went! Jeff met us there to be the official photographer for a momentous occasion. The pool was a MADHOUSE! Children and adults moving around in all different directions. Madison had so much to look at and I couldn't believe the mayhem. Miss Lace was a trooper and fought through the lesson...of what there was. I thought for sure she would sleep on the way home but since the car seat has been turned around, she doesn't sleep in the car as much. She fights it as long as she can! Got her home and put her down for her morning nap. When she woke up she still wasn't quite right and still VERY GRUMPY! Took her temperature and realized that that was the problem. I don't like when my little girl is sick but the snuggle time you get as a parent when they are sick is priceless. Most of the time she's up and down...all over the place. Yesterday all she wanted to do was snuggle! Gotta love that! Today she's feeling much better and almost back to her ol' self.Yesterday, while Madison was taking her nap I was outside trying to get some planting and lawn work done. Ran along this little guy hiding out under the picnic table (the sun must have been hot yesterday!). Come to find out, this is a yellow ring neck snake and is mostly a nocturnal creature and rarely seen during the day (no wonder he didn't move so fast from under the table). I gotta tell you...I like nature but just can't get used to coming across snakes in the yard. Not my favorite. This one wasn't so bad since he was small and didn't move too fast! Just have to make sure that when working in the backyard that I pick up sticks and not snakes!
