We actually made it to church early today! It helps when Ruggy's home to help me get the girls ready. Anyways, I was on my way back from taking Pinnie to the washroom during the singing when Ruggy came out and passed Beanie to me. She was crying - he said she'd just started while they were singing. You have to understand, this is very out of character for her. For one thing, she loves her Daddy, for another thing, she's a very contented girl, and for a third thing, she loves listening to music.
She was obviously miserable, and I was thinking she was just so tired she'd hit the wall. I couldn't get her to drink her juice, and she just turned her head away from the animal crackers. Red flag. She loves animal crackers. I took her into the nursery to sit in the rocker... she buried her face in her blankie and promptly threw up. Great. Blankie caught everything, but now she can't use it to calm herself down. Long story short, we ended up bringing her home, leaving Pinnie in Jr. Church (under the watchful care of the Jr. Church teachers) and sending Ruggy back to pick her up and do the "Pie & Praise" promos and answer all the questions.
That's fine, it's not Beanie's fault she's sick. She couldn't settle herself down in bed, so I sat with her in the rocker in the living room and popped in a movie. That was enough to distract her and she promptly fell asleep. The poor thing was exhausted, though I can't figure out why. She slept until the phone rang, over an hour and a half later. I fed her a few soda crackers and a bit of yogourt. So far, so good. She even went right back to bed for another two and a half hour nap!
Anyhoo, I didn't end up going to the Pie & Praise evening. Why is it? Every time there's an event like this, one I'm really looking forward to, something pops up and makes it so I can't go. I was rather disappointed. And then, Ruggy and Pinnie came home, and it "didn't even cross his mind" to bring me back a piece of dessert. Thanks, love. -_- I'm stuck home with a sick baby, didn't get to sing with everyone else, oh, wait, just stuck at home like every other evening in my life.
Break out the tea and vanilla Oreos. I'm having a pity party.
PS - By bedtime, Beanie ate another yogourt cup and a whole piece of toast and drank about three cups of juice. I think she's feeling better.
