Poor sick Penny

| June 7, 2016

I mentioned before that poor Penny has definitely had a respiratory cold of some kind. The little kitten has been sneezing like mad, sleeping a lot and not playing at all. What struck me most was that she is so quiet and is usually so chatty. I knew then that she was very sick. Then she stopped eating. Not good, if you know anything about cats. We took her to the vet and it turned out that she had a fever and was definitely sick. She came home with antibiotics that she had to take twice a day for 14 days. Not fun, but Penny was so good and didn’t try to spit it out or anything. Sam has been good about helping. She holds Penny while I give her the medicine so she doesn’t wiggle away and has been giving her lots of gentle hugs and kisses. She is already so much better than she was, and it’s a good thing because Sam is very worried about her baby!

Lost tooth!

| June 5, 2016

Yesterday, Sam got invited to go over to her friend, Lina’s, house for a birthday party. Lina is in her class and she lives right down the street (yeah, I know…she’s been in school for 9 months and we just figured this out….epic Mom fail). Lina is having a regular party with all her school friends in a few weeks, but her family party was yesterday and since they were having a bounce house and all that nonsense, Lina’s mom invited Sam over. We went over and Sam was having a great time. She found out from Lina that Lina had just lost a top tooth the day before, and Sam has an insanely wiggly top tooth, so they were talking teeth. With Sam’s first bite of pizza — her tooth came out! Yikes, did it come out. She was bleeding like mad. I was glad we were at someone’s house and not just out somewhere because Lina’s mom helped me get whatever I needed to get Sam situated. Sam was so excited! She couldn’t wait to get back outside to tell Lina! The two of them felt like stars. They kept comparing how much they thought the tooth fairy was going to leave.

Here is her gappy new smile! Don’t mind the bounce house hair. 😉

Here is the note that the tooth fairy left, with her dollar. She is a lucky kid!
