Day +3

Well, Mina Brigitta had another really nice day. Didn't eat much of anything all day, but was active and alert and playing contentedly all day long. She'll start getting sicker very soon, but it's so nice to have days like this before that happens.

She was in a very cute mood when I got back from the hospital, interacting with me and yet playing by herself at times as well. She used to play by herself pretty well, but she doesn't really get alone time at the hospital, so I try to butt out whenever she seems content by herself. She wanted to get down on the floor at about 9 PM, and she didn't seem sleepy at all, so I put her down and let her walk around. She went back and forth between the closet and the daybed for about half an hour, pulling towels and washcloths out of the closet and stacking them neatly on the daybed. This is one of her favorite activities at home. I can't wait until she's old enough to help us fold the laundry!
