Roseola

Roseola. Or should I say "there's something you never thought you'd google"? (mom- I know you are googling this right now)... Well, thanks to Alyssa, our wise, fellow-parent friend in Winston-Salem, we now have a definitive diagnosis of Evie's virus. Alyssa's daughter Sage battled through this too. Thankfully, Evie is in the clear. Basically, after 5 days of high fevers, a rash arrives all over the body. Fabulous. BUT! Today she ate like a bear waking up from hibernation. It was awesome. After my morning dance class (which was also awesome), we also took her to the natural history museum elephant again (of course) and actually went inside the museum this time too. Evie loved the iguana, and the fish and birds. The large dinosaur bones, not so much. We were really wooed inside to see the 25,000 year old Venus of Willendorf statue, a primitive goddess figure and the oldest known art piece in the world. It's as big as a jar of baby food. She had no feet, the poor goddess! Then we walked through the Nascht markt again, and a vendor who was quite taken with Evie gave her a free apricot...even with her rash, no less. Making our way back towards our apartment, I headed straight for dance class #2 tonight at 6pm, arriving geared up and ready to go until I realized just how young everyone was around me. Kept thinking to myself: "do any of you people have a one year old? Do you sing songs and pretend you're an elephant too?" Ah, to be in your twenties and dance like you're in your twenties. I'm not going to be sore tomorrow, I swear. Jeffrey cooked a delicious dinner tonight and now we are chilling. More dancing awaits all week. Tomorrow night, we have Coly and Nana babysitting and we're off to the symphony! When in Vienna....
