Kyla is Spot On!
Every parents nightmare.
Your child wakes up covered in spots! I was at work, minding my own business with the business of mass spectrometry when I received a mysterious email from Rachel, subject "KG is Spotty!"
A quick perusal of the contents revealed that she was covered in red splotches, what we later found out was likely to be hives. Kyla had dual ear infections the previous week and was on Amoxacillin to exterminate the devlish microbes that had invaded her aural cavity. Though not her first experimentation with this legal drug, it was clearly not as favorable to her the second time around. Something about secondary immune response being more intense than primary, etc. etc.
Kyla is still, 3 days later, a Wee Hoosier with deformed little Japanese flags all over her body. They started as little white spots with red perimeters, but graduated to all matter of crater-shaped things. Her whole body looks like Gorbachev's head. And they are evolving, too, so the fun is to try and play a memory game with the current state of her bas-relief hive map. Kyla does not participate in the fun, though. She is not a happy camper. She is hot, but feels cold. She is tired but she can't sleep. She is hungry but can't eat.
She is kind of feeling better as of later today, but still extremely uncomfortable. Though she got her mommy a card for mother's day, the real present of a glorious sun-filled day with a joyous smiling family never really came to fruition.
Happy Mother's Day anyway, mommy!

Baby's first passover
Turns out Kyla likes gefilte fish and matzah balls (R: I admit that I eat the gefilte fish too, and with horseradish no less. Anyone who knows my eating habits might be surprised by that!).
Things you never knew existed...

court day cont.
Kyla's grandma was interested in what pretty dress (thanks Trish!) Kyla wore to court so here is a closer pic. A week ago I was wondering what we should put on under the dress to keep her warm but since it was nearly 80 degrees here, sleeveless worked just fine.
Last night we celebrated by going to see the Padres play (Dan's work rewarded their hard work with tickets) so Kyla saw her first baseball game. It wasn't the most exciting game... we left at the end of the 9th inning when the score was 0-0. Read in the news today that the game finally ended after 22 innings! whew! I wonder how many die-hard fans stayed to the end. (Kyla's uncle Kirk probably would have stayed!)
