1 Until 2!

Today is Ginger's last day of being one year old. Two years ago this minute, I was in labor with her...stuck on the 10 freeway on the way to Cedars Sinai, thinking I might deliver in the car!

We had big plans to go to the beach today and celebrate her one-ness...but then life intervened. ;-)

Paprika woke up at 3am with a high fever and vomitting...and I ended up staying up all night with her. So, today we are taking it easy and just hanging out at home.

I am not complaining. Paprika (knock on wood) only gets sick once or twice/year. I think the last time she was sick was in June last year! And she had the same symptoms. Crazy, huh?

Whenever she gets sick, she says, "I have a throat," which really means..."I am going to throw up." And that's when I know we're in for a rough couple of days.

Poor Little Sickie:



Of course, the timing on Paprika being sick could be better. Tomorrow is Ginger's birthday and we have tickets to see U2 in concert tomorrow night. We've only been waiting for the concert for almost two years now, since it was supposed to be last year but Bono broke his back.

Fingers crossed Paprika is okay by tomorrow night...otherwise, guess who's staying home! Ah, parenthood.

It kind of reminds me of when Paprika was 3 days old and I stayed home from the Emmy's and Governor's Ball to be with her. Mr. Mustard won and I missed it. Of course I would never have left her- just sometimes I wish I could clone myself!



So, it's been a lazy day. Paprika has been inside most of the day watching Angelina Ballerina on my laptop, and convalescing.

Ginger and I have been outside playing with Daisy.



Daisy follows Ginger around like a little puppy! Well, I guess that's because that's what she is. Daisy is so smitten with the girls- it is really fun to watch!



Remember those shoes I ordered for Daisy? Well, they came in the mail and they are so ridiculous! Basically, they are balloons that you put on your dog's feet. I don't know what I was thinking they'd be...but I know that I would never pay $14 for some red balloons. I could have bought her more expensive shoes, I suppose...but she's going to grow out of anything I buy her in two weeks...so I thought these would be a workable solution. Wrong-O!



It would be fine if Daisy liked them, but she is not a fan, and really, can you blame her? How would you like to walk around with balloons on your feet?

Here is the link to them, in case anyone is interested in not buying them! Lame-O Dog Shoes...

I mean, if anyone could make these shoes work, it would be Daisy, right? Haha. Back to the drawing board!

Happy Weekend!
