Kaylee’s having a bit of a hard time right now. I’m not sure what’s all wrong (could be the ears, teething, growing pains, attachment issues). But she has been very upset at daycare and very hard for the daycare staff to comfort. She’s continued to have problems with her ears, I brought her back to the doctor early this week, and they said her ear infection isn’t getting better so then they switched her to another antibiotic. She’s been on that now for 3 days. (she has been on the other for 4 days) She still is very upset at daycare, and yesterday they gave her a nukie to calm her down after she asked for one. Note: She hasn’t had a nukie since she was 2 months old, and at that time only used it for about a month. So you can imagine my surprise when I picked her up and she had it in her mouth. Then in the evening, she asked for it. We went out and got her all the coolest new teethers at Target and tried to give them to her, she turned her nose up to them. She then woke up in the middle of the night crying so hard for 20 minutes we resisted the calls for a nukie and then finally gave in.
So today at daycare she is using on again, and today I did give her Motrin before I brought her in. She’s been on so much Motrin lately I’m getting worried we may be getting close to that max allowable duration of 10 days. Suffice it to say, we hope to see our Kaylee feeling better soon. At home as long as she’s with us, she still seems her happy self. So we’re not sure what’s happening at daycare... We’ve wondered if she’s having some attachment issues now. The teacher say she is esp. upset at transition times like lunch time and has thrown her food on the floor, refusing to eat her lunch or snack. So it seems whenever she’s removed for the person & scene she’s gotten used to, she is not happy. Anyways, I hope today at pickup to get better news than I have the rest of this week. I am very very busy preparing for a deadline at work and won’t be able to miss much work, and as far as the daycare rules for sickness Kaylee isn’t breaking any since she doesn’ t have a fever. Wish Kaylee a speedy recovery and to snap out of it with the nukie!

jen-
a certain other person i know - yours truly - also made fits at daycare a lot. i think i was probably the biggest daycare pain in the ass ever. mom said all i liked to do was lay on this big crazy ball, and that was the only thing that would make me not cry. so just know that kaylee will probably still turn out at least, if not more, normal than me, if that makes you feel any better. it sounds like it's psychological more than about the earache. she's getting old enough that she'll pull out the stops to keep ol' mom around. hope things get better!
