What a Difference a Day Makes

Twenty-four little hours ago (more like forty-eight, but I'm taking artistic license here), this was our little girl in the morning--bright eyed and excited to go to school to play with her new friends. Two weeks her elder, Ivy is one of her better friends. They apparently like to share the toy gym together and often they ignore the toys and just stare at each other.

Well, Ivy's mom got sick, then Ivy got sick, then of course...this is our little girl now. Cold + slight fever + ear infection + eye infection + no sleep. If I could get inside her little head, I'm sure she is asking:

"Can you please explain what is going on? I know I only slept like 20 minutes last night, but when I finally did go to sleep in the morning, you woke me up to drive me to the doctor. They stuck things up my nose, put cold things on my chest, and when I finally fell asleep after crying there, you just woke me up again, put me back in that stupid car seat (which I hate) to go back home. Then you shoved droppers in my mouth with nasty medicines and put drops in my eyes that sting.

All I want to do is watch the Muppet Show, but you will only let me do that for like 10 minutes. And why do I feel so crappy? Can't you just make me feel better?

Don't worry, I'm not blind. I see your camera there. But no...there will be no smiling for you today."

Poor little girl. We're trying. Feel better. :(

  1. Audrey is beautiful with or without her smile! The tears in her eye really tug at the heart. Hopefully everyone gets some sleep tonight. Glad to hear with the medicine she is doing a little better.

  2. We're SO sorry to hear about poor baby Audrey - no sick is fun, but sickness should know that it's too tough on sweet little ones to go through that much (not to mention moms and dads who would gladly take her place if they could!) Hoping she's better very soon!!!
