Mia's Sherbert is now Mia's Sunshine

As I stated before I just wasn't crazy on the name "Sherbert". So I kept trying..... how about: honey, Riley, um.... cinnamon, paprika (anything orange, yellow)....amber? No, No and No. Mia wasn't having it. Then the other night Mason was goofing around, "Good night honey"...."Good night pumpkin"...."Good night sunshine."
Mia: Sunshine? I like sunshine. OK, we'll name her sunshine.

Mason is very excited that he came up with the name and Mia gives him the props for it. Sunshine?..... How come I didn't think of that? I used to sing both of them "you are my sunshine" all the time when they were babies and I didn't think of it. Funny.

In other news, Mia had a swollen foot Saturday morning from what appears to be a mosquito bite. I'm talking swollen like her foot almost looked like it was going to pop. We tried everything Benedryl, Motrin, topical extra-strength Benedryl, soaking it, ice.... nothing helped. So last night I say, "If it's not gone tomorrow we're going to the doctor". Really, it's not like the swelling went down and came back..... it never went down. So last night after her bath the swelling finally went down. It looks better this morning too. The mosquitoes are HORRIBLE here. We've been holing up inside because of them. Even with repellent or citronella candles nothing seems to work. Let's hope we survive the weekend without looking like some kind of pincushion.
