I got up with Mom and was happy to see Nana, as usual. I played well and pooped well; by 10:00 and I was in my crib by 10:30 for a 90-minute nap. Dad tried to get me an appointment for the H1N1 vaccine at my doctor’s office, but he coudn’t get through. So Nana took care of the issue by getting me an appointment at the Kankakee County Health Department. Grandpa, Nana, and I all drove down to Kankakee. It turned out to be a really fun trip, especially for whomever had the pleasure of sitting next to me in the back seat!
On the way back, we stopped at Dunkin Donuts for my first time ever. I had a yummy toasted bagel with cream cheese! We got back home at 3:45 and Rachel came by around 5:00. I had fun with her, ate dinner, and then she put me to bed.
Thursday morning was fine and I didn’t cry when Mom dropped me off at school. I gave lots of snuggles and hugs today and said all of my friends’ names. I even started the trend of waving to my friends during meal time…only no one followed my lead! Ms. Laurie was really impressed by my verbal skills, too.
I got impatient on the drive home. I ate a decent dinner but rejected the cantaloups. I went to sleep at 7:45 wearing fake PJs.
On Friday morning I got up with Dad and we played in my room before going downstairs and making breakfast (egg and outmeal with “apple in it”). Nana came and we had a great morning together, again speaking lots and lots of Arabic! I had a very good lunch incluidng salmon, a pea burger, yogurt, and milk.
I took my nap pretty late (around 1:00) and woke up around 3:00 to see Mom home! I played with Mom most of the afternoon, with visits from Dad. We even cleaned out my closet and of course I got to help. I got into a little trouble when I tried to walk up the stairs by myself, but other than that my evening was great.

Hi Maggie,
A few things:
1. Since there’s no designated space on your site to air grievances, I will do so here. Today is November 18, and I’ve noticed that you haven’t posted anything new in almost 2 weeks. Not a huge deal, and I wasn’t going to say anything, but some members of your fan club could use more frequent updates. I figured you could tell your mom or dad or whoever ghostwrites your entries (I’m on to you…) to step it up a bit.
2. I really like your natural bronze highlights; they give your hair a nice sun-kissed look. Don’t ever dye those away!
3. Do you take visit requests? Even if not, I’m submitting one. I’m in Cambridge, MA, where there is only one Yagan, and he’s really not as adorable as you are (and probably never was). There is a Droste not far from here, but I don’t see her so she doesn’t count. Please consider making an appearance in these parts sometime soon.
4. You’re way better at soccer than I ever was. That’s not saying much, but still.
