So this was a big weekend at our house. My mom and my step dad flew in from Arizona on Thursday evening, and Kevin arrived late Friday afternoon. I had such a wonderfully fun weekend planned, including MOA, the zoo, etc. However, as is often the case when you are a parent, that was not to be. Emma came down with a fever on Friday afternoon while we were at the MOA. She became sleepy and refused to eat. On Saturday we attempted to go to the zoo as Ellie was super excited. Emma cried the ENTIRE TIME. Now, I don't mean she cried on and off while we were there. Nope. She sat in her stroller or on my lap and CRIED for 3 hours STRAIGHT!!! Needless to say we "power walked" through the zoo. I made it up to Ellie by buying her some outrageously expensive toys at the gift store. On Sunday Emma seemed a bit better but still not 100%. We attempted a walk to the park...She was happy for about 10 minutes and then went back into pissed off mode. When we weren't out trying to be active Emma slept...and slept...and slept...and would not eat a darn thing. I was getting really worried...I figured if she wasn't OK by this morning I would be heading for the Dr.
So Kev left at 3am this morning and mom left at 5am...at 6:30am Emma woke up HAPPY AS CAN BE!!! No fever, ate about 3 bowls of cereal and ran around playing with all of the new toys she totally ignored this weekend. You have to be kidding me. My dad insists that it was simply because she missed her grandpa...I think her teeth finally broke through. Either way I hope when I get back from work today she is still as happy and upbeat as she was when I left.

Looks like we were definitely in the same boat. Grace wasn't quite so pissy though - and we still haven't gotten to "Happy Kid" phase yet. But hopefully, it's coming.
I hope it is too!! Poor thing!
