We accomplished lots of stuff today

First thing we did was take all the kids to the doctor. Jack had a fever the other night and has been complaining of joint pain and a headache ever since. Tor has a hacking cough and Liv has a cold. Turns out everyone is fine except Liv has the beginnings of an ear infection. They are hoping it resolves itself but if she develops a fever we have to take her back. So we went and got a working thermometer after we ate breakfast/lunch at City Limits. All four of the ones we had weren't working the other night.

Then we went to the Westchester (the mall). Hanna Andersson was having a huge sale, so I got a few dresses for Liv for next summer. They are adorable. I also got her some socks from Baby Gap. These socks seem to be the only ones that stay on her feet. They so cute, they are ankle socks with lace. They only had pink with lace. I wanted white too, but that is ok.

I of course got my green tea from Starbucks along with my .$54 refill. When I went back to get the refill, the lady said there was no refill price. She didn't believe me when I said I always got discounted refills on tea. She said it was only on coffee. I asked to talk to the manager twice and she refused to get him. Finally I stopped being nice and demanded to see the manager and guess what, you can get discounted refills on iced tea. No kidding. She didn't even say sorry or anything. Almost makes me never want to go back...ALMOST :).

I got my eyebrows waxed while I were at the mall too. Yay. They were out of control :). Then the way home we stopped by Stop 'n Shop and got a few staples that Peapod doesn't deliver. Jack, Liv and I stayed in the car while Daddy and Tor shopped. It was fun. We came home and watched the Yankees game and read some books and had an early dinner. Then I spent all evening packing away Liv's 0-3 month clothes and then sorting through all the hand me downs I got from my friends (I had already washed them) and adding them to the clothes I had bought and then filling her drawers with clothes. Liv is set with clothes. They are all so cute too. I love having a little girl. I always thought I wanted a tom-boy like I was when I was a kid, now I think I want a girly-girl. Kind of funny.

Well speaking of Liv, I better wake her up and nurse her before I go to bed. I am exhausted.

Well yeah I kinda saw this coming. When she's a baby you can pretty much do whatever you want and dress Liv as girly-girl or tomboy-ish as you want. Once she gets a little older and develops the trademark Alvey personality, I'm sure that she will be quite clear about what she wants and how she wants to dress. So you may still get that little tomboy who wants to run around and play with her cool big brothers. Regardless, I am glad to see you having fun shopping and dressing your little girl.
