different variations of a cold/flu have been taking down prisoners in this house we share. only a few are left standing. it is unpleasant and draining. i think i was second in line...it makes you wish you could crawl into your mom's bed like you did when you were a kid and wait for medication administration and cold clothes to your forehead and extra blankets and green grapes and chicken soup and all the other good comforting things my mom did when i was sick~ thanks Mom!! so when it hit the two little girls this past week, it was so sad to see them laying around on the couch. understand this~ they are in constant motion normally, so this was a sure sign of something being amiss in their resilient little bodies. thankfully once the medication started to work in their systems they perked up really fast, until it wore off again. thankfully by the third day they were back to normal, aka wild and crazy...
here's a picture of Miss E, on the couch under her new "I Spy" quilt made by Gramma...she felt warm and loved and secure in that moment.
it was a gift for all of us to care for them through it. i felt the same about my big kids too~ always nice to have an excuse to love a little larger in tangible ways that feel good! still, hoping it won't be long before we have fresh spring air blowing through open windows!
