Finally broke down.

Well, I finally broke down and got Juliette a costume for Halloween with thanks to Grandpa Weldon. It was only $10 so I don't feel too bad about it. She's going to be a traditional pumpkin. She looks pretty cute in the costume. I have yet to get some pictures of her in it.

This has been a very busy week. On Tuesday, we picked up Grandpa Weldon from the Peoria Airport. Juliette did well on the hour drive there but the drive back was a different story. She started crying 15 minutes into the drive. I ended up pulling off at the rest stop to feed her thinking she was hungry. Not the case. She continued to cry after being fed. Finally, we stopped off at Sam's Club 20 min from home to switch drivers. My dad drove and I sat in the back with Juliette while giving driving directions. Then later that day Juliette and I went to the Sale Barn where the health department was have an H1N1 vaccine clinic. I ended up waiting in line 2 hours for Juliette to get her shot. Thankfully, I had her in her carrier and she was good the entire time we waited in line. She even managed to fall asleep among all the noise 10 minutes before she was to get her shot. Luckily, the nurse was able to give the shot to her while she remained in the carrier asleep. She woke up briefly from the prick of the needle but went back to sleep shortly after. I think I shed more tears than she did. Yes, I'm a big softy. I really had to hold back the tears while all the other little kiddies were getting their shots, lots of screams and crying.

Grandpa Weldon has been busy playing with Juliette. She's been giving him lots of smiles. Today, we went shopping for her Christmas presents from him. We had a good time looking at all the different toys. We even helped Grandpa Weldon wrap the presents too.

Juliette goes for her 6 month check up this Friday.

Last Friday, I had the opportunity to sub for the first time this year. I really enjoyed being back in the classroom and working with the little ones.
