Ouest had a fever today and was pretty out of it all afternoon. So much so in fact that she fell asleep completely on her own at one point. She never sits still long enough to do that and now we’re Googling whether or not it is possible to give someone a fever. No we’re not doing that. It does look as though we’ll be here another couple of days while we make sure she is feeling better.

We also managed to drop and bust one of our two fans last night. Not cool considering daytime temps are ninety-five and by bedtime the inside of the boat is hovering around ninety. People that continue to live on their boats in Baja during the summer are either insane or don’t have kids.

Tonight we went up and used the marina showers. One of the risks you take in doing this with small children is this: Ouest came out of the bathroom before her mama and excitedly told me, right there on the sidewalk, all about Mama’s shaving. She had helped me apply shaving cream this morning and apparently now considers herself an expert.

Ouest is currently going through a phase in which she must wear pants. No dress is good enough, she must have both pants and a shirt. The girl is going to drive us nuts. It’s freaking hot out Ouest!
