Daddy Daycare

According to Eric, daddy daycare is "the best paying job in the world." They play, read, eat and sleep. Well, Eric doesn't sleep for fear he won't wake up when Tessa does. But they have a lot of fun! Eric calls me with updates, which I look forward to every day. Who knows how much he really discloses, though. For all I know, they're in front of the TV eating sugar all day. What Mommy doesn't know can't hurt her, right? ; )

Family Visits

Grandpa & Grandma babysat Tessa for an
afternoon while Mommy & Daddy went to
see "Chicago" at the Orpheum in Sioux Falls.

Great-aunt Joan visited Canton
during a trip to Sioux Falls.

A sign of affection?

Aside from spending a wonderful Mother's Day with Tessa & Eric, receiving a card and going out for ice cream, Tessa gave me another treat: a wet surprise on my leg, which, according to Eric, was in the shape of a heart. Awww! Yes, it was bound to happen sometime; Tessa just chose to pee on my leg before bath time on Mother's Day ... twice. And, of course, Eric had to take a picture. Precious moments. Precious moments indeed.

Ear Infection: Round 2

We are sad to report that Tessa has her second ear infection – just a month from when she got over her first one. (Which leads us to believe she never really got over the first one.) We were supposed to go to Mantorville to visit Mima, Kory, Aaron & Jessica, but ended up bringing Tessa to urgent care instead. (We had the breast cancer walk entrants to contend with, but we made it through the parking lot!)

We are happy to report, however, that Tessa's front two bottom teeth are poking through (and are very sharp!) Our little girl is growing up quickly!
