Cupcakes stayed home with no pink eye.

To comply with the state law we either had to get Cupcakes antibiotics or a note saying that her eyes were not contagious for her to be able to return to daycare the next day. Even if she had antibiotics she had to stay out with it for 24 hours before she could go back to daycare. Mama brought work home for Thursday. Since the doctor from Wednesday had prescribed antibiotics for no pink eye, Cupcakes was not going back to daycare. Mama still tried. She brought Cupcakes up there. It did not help that Cupcakes rubbed her eye on the way there. Mama ended up staying home with Cupcakes. Mama did not complain as more quality time with baby the better. Cupcakes did not cry the whole day.

Mama did make an appointment with Dr. Spector to get a note about the eye(s). Dr. Spector was very upset that Mama took Cupcakes to see a chiropractor. Chiropractors have hurt his babies before. He was also not happy that Mama took Cupcakes to another doctor. Dr. Spector, who is very careful about prescribing antibiotics, prescribed antibiotics for Cupcakes' ear infection, taught Mama the way to spot pink eye and wrote a note for Cupcakes' to be able to return to daycare.

We picked up Chinese books that Auntie Boo brought back from Hong Kong for Cupcakes and visited Auntie Kim on the way home. While visiting with Aunties Boo and Kim, Cupcakes sat in Mama's lap, leaned against Mama and held one of Mama's fingers with each of her hand. We were both relaxed. It was the best feeling in the world - having a relaxed and content baby!
