Sick day (but not really)

Max came home from school with a temperature yesterday, and since he did not seem 100% this morning, he stayed home.  We visited the doctor, just to be on the safe side, and endured a trying strep test (which came back negative!), but essentially Max took a mid-week stay-cation.  

This afternoon, Max went to Babies R Us to pick out a present for the baby-to-be.  As expected, most of the present-hunt was for himself.  Once mommy narrowed down the selection, and Max stopped hugging every stuffed animal and shirking, "Pawley!", he wound up with a giraffe for the baby and Daniel Tiger toy (from the "Pawley Show") for himself.  Unfortunately, after slapping his "mom" (a term he got from Daniel Tiger) across the face for not having enough quarters for the car ride in the store, his toy had to be taken away.  He can get it back tomorrow...if he stays in bed tonight.

Dress...

up day!

It's like Disneyland, but for a penny!

Strep test over- thank goodness!
