behind

Well- I have been behind on my blogging...sorry! Devin's mom, Jan arrived on Thursday. It is so wonderful to have her company. Nevi is beyond thrilled! But it also means I am not alone in the mornings and therefore no time to write. But yunno what...there will be plenty of time when she has to go back home- so I am loving each minute of her company while we get it!
Yesterday we had a new experience, we were invited to a one year old birthday party at McDonald's. An acquaintance, Samantha who works here where we live invited us. Nevi has never had McDonald's....ever so when she caught wind she thought birthday party....yeah! It was a wonderful cultural experience as the four of us and our friends Kate and Hannah- well we were the token expats at the party. It was cute....Nevi had her first Mc-nugget....and was not impressed....but she was impressed with her first Sprite- I of course vetoed the Coke long before she even knew it was there.
Then this morning yet another first.....Nevi had a slight fever a few days ago and then normal for a few days. That happens here in the heat. But then she was saying her throat was sore. So I looked at it with a flashlight this morning. Yup- canker sores. She has gotten a few since being here. We thought it all the fresh fruit. But today there were at least 4 I could see- so grandma, papa, me and Nev went to the local Klinic and yes it is spelled that way.....in our little Taman U area. We waited 1.5 hours in the heat...cranky child...long wait. Turns out it is called a throat infection and is usually caused by the heat and the change in weather. So Nev gets antibiotics for 3 days...some topical stuff to put on the sores, no cold water, no fruit, no swimming, no school for 2 days, lots of room temp water, broth and porridge....and she should be just fine.
So another weekend in Malaysia!
Stay tuned for more pictures soon- I found the USB cable again! XOXOX
