Christmas is almost here!

I failed to mention I took Kiersten to the mall to have her pics taken with Santa. But that was a bust! She would not let go of me, she was hanging on with dear life. We tried to get her to look at the reindeer, Christmas tree, bells but nothing worked, we even watched a few kids go up there but she was not having it. But she was not the only one that was afraid of Santa. Oh well there's always next year! Kiersten had her Christmas program at school, and did great! She loved jiggling the jingle bells, clapping and dancing. She did extremely well. She had a cow costume on and had even wore a head piece that she did not bother with. After the program she got to eat a cupcake....which she loved! On Thursday Santa came to her school, and I was told she did okay with him, she sat near him with the teacher and took her book and candy cane from him!
Then it was off to her doctor appt. The doctor said she was on target for 2. She was 29lbs and in the 75th percentile, and was 36inc, and in the 96th percentile. She got her last Hep B shot, she did great didn't bother her, she clenched but that was it! She gets to drink skim milk now and we don't have to take her back until next year, but I have a feeling we will be back before then.
Today I took Kiersten to the dermatologist. She has musscolleum contagious.....something like that. She got it from our neice. So we begin treatment with cream to get the eczema under control then we will work on the rash. The medicine was $144.....crazy if you ask me! Hopefully this will work because if not we will have to try something else, not to mention the money we will be out. They have a fish tank at the doctors office and she loved looking at all the fish and the frog. When we got called back, she cried because she did not want to leave the fish. I am debating about getting a fish tank, but i dont want that responsibility. We got her a fake fish tank for Christmas so hopefully she will enjoy that one just as much. Today at Walmart, Kiersten dropped almost the entire bag of pretzels on the ground, and then in the buggy. There were these 2 teenage girls, that helped me pick them all up. How amazing was that?! I love this time of year, everyone just seems a bit nicer!
I am starting to feel better. I am still getting sick but I can tell it's not that bad. I want to feel better, but then I think I will worry that something is wrong if I am not. I guess I am just a worrier. I am so glad I have a sweet friend that is pregnant with me, she always reassures me to think positive.
Christmas shopping is all done and we will be leaving this week. The fun part will be getting it all down there and back!
