Veronica isn't quite as sick now, although she still has a runny nose and a pretty awful cough. But she's still just as cranky, if not more so. Her favorite word this week has been "No!" Right now she's being a little angel, watching her Baby Einstein DVD with rapt attention when she's not leafing through a book or dancing to the music. But this isn't indicative of the rest of the day. I'm thinking now that her crankiness has less to do with her illness and more with her age. Time to start reading up on How to Difuse a Temper...

The worst place she throws a hissy fit: Bookstores. Borders, Barnes N' Noble, wherever. It's because she loves bookstores. If she had her way, every tome would be ripped from the shelves and thumbed through. As this isn't condusive to actually shopping - or actually shopping in the same store again - there's always a battle of wills.

Well, Veronica's over here, throwing a toy car at the computer and talking to me. She gets jealous of my attention to the computer, and it makes me feel guilty. Time to go and play with my little girl. :-)
