When the Monkey is with the Cat…

This little monkey stayed at Erica’s for the last few days.  With Grammy in the Holy Land and Katie busy with a new social work job, we found ourselves up the creek without a paddle!  Erica is between jobs right now, so she kindly offered to watch the little one.  The first day with Erica and GiGi and Adriana went well enough.  SJ cried a bit after I dropped her off, but she soon settled down and played and ate like a horse and even took a little nap.  The second day went much better.  She didn’t cry at all, and she seemed to do even better with the girls gone to daycare.  Go figure…

Today, however, we discovered that what looked like little mosquito bites was actually an allergic reaction to Erica’s cat.  So I left work early and picked her up, gave her a bath to get rid of the dander, and spent the afternoon with her at home to make sure the hives calmed down.  She was a little fussy tonight, but I think she’s fine.  The reaction did prompt us to follow up with the allergist to get her in sometime soon.
