Walls and Balls

Nadia's newest word is "wall." Paul's mom heard her say it yesterday when she was changing Nadia's diaper, and I've heard it a few times today. Her newest "toy" that she's enjoying is Paul's basketball. She discovered it in a box in the garage a few days ago and had fun rolling it around the garage. Since then Paul cleaned off the ball so she could play with it inside. She carries it, throws it, rolls it, and sits on it.

Yesterday afternoon while I was grading papers in my office, I started to get a really sore throat, and my nose started running incessantly. Unfortunately that continued throughout class last night (along with a headache and mild fever). I wanted to go to bed early last night, but I stayed up so that I could talk to Paul on the phone after he finished his exam. I still feel pretty lousy today, but of course moms don't get sick days. If Nadia gave me this cold, then I understand why she was crying so much that first night. My throat was really, really hurting last night. Thankfully the only symptom she seems to have is a mild runny nose. This is her third cold, but so far it seems to be the mildest of the three. I hope I'm feeling better soon as well and that neither of us pass this on to Paul.
