On/off

Who says the bathtub has to be only for baths?

The Wifey has been in Philly the past couple days on a teacher testing trip so TLW's Da-Da has been the Adult In Charge. Last night I had to take Haley to the doctor's for a routine check-up sorta visit. She was a happy, singing, laughing little girl all the way up to entering the examining room at which time she had a complete meltdown. For twenty minutes she was hooting like someone just ripped her first morning baba from her hands. The nurse did a couple things. The doctor did a couple things. The nurse came back in to give her a couple shots. As soon as we crossed the threshold of the exam room she immediately stopped crying and was perfectly happy again.

I think mothers are better equiped to hear their children in distress like that. I can say without a doubt that sound has replaced the vacuum cleaner as my number one least favorite sound. By far. We survived it together though and The Wifey made it back from Philly early enough last night to put TLW to bed. All is well again.
