now we are two

E celebrated her second birthday by contracting bronchitis. This turned out to be an ideal time to do so, in the sense that we went to the doctor for her two-year checkup before we actually realized she was sick enough to require more than extra-long naps (we've been exceedingly lucky in that although she's gotten quite a lot of colds, she previously hadn't gotten anything worse than that), and the doctor took a look at her and a listen at her lungs and immediately prescribed an inhaler and antibiotics. (This doctor is usually pretty good about our stated wish not to use more antibiotics than we can help -- for example, she rarely prescribes them for ear infections -- so you can see that she thought it was something to be concerned about.) She's much better today.

But mostly she is awesome.
