Play date with Emily

Zoe had a playdate with Emily on Friday.. Emily is her best friend.. from preschool.. they really cherish one another and had such a fabulous time playing together. We started with dressing up as princesses, made wands, they played a little in her room; fought over the stroller (a toy Emily knows how to use and a toy Zoe almost never plays with (unless she is the one sitting in it)); played playdoh, had lunch, ate popsicles... while winding down, they both curled up in the rocking chair and had such a good laugh (and played tug over a yo-yo). They played solidly from 12 to 4... by 6pm Zoe was curled up in a sleeping bag, sleeping soundly by 6:30.. no interest in dinner.. at 10pm she woke up... missing her bink... and she was having trouble breathing.., breathing mostly through her mouth, which doesn't work well with a bink.

she has a cold.. we are hoping it is not the flu (H1N1 scares me, as the media wishes it to be)... she spent today watching movies and hanging out.. we tried to keep her calm and rested.. she napped right after we got back from breakfast, asleep by 11am... weird for Zoe. She had the typical up and downs.. didn't really eat until dinner time which she did well, then pronounced she didn't feel well and kind of mosey'd around while we finished up. I hope with enough tylenol she gets good sleep and kicks her cold out.
