a rough morning

Ella had tubes put in her ears early this morning. Her doctor told me he'd take the blame for about 30 minutes of crankiness post surgery. I'm blaming him for about 5 hours of pitifulness. She did not fall asleep on the way home like he expected her to. She did not take a good nap this morning, but instead alternated between light, restless sleep and inconsolable crying. I finally got a little juice in her around noon, when this picture was taken. We had 30 pretty good minutes before the crying started up again. Thankfully, she had a good afternoon nap and was feeling great tonight. So great that she really enjoyed repeatedly trying to put her toy lipstick tube up her nose. How's that for feminine? I'm very thankful that today is behind us...
