Raising Arrows

It takes a lot to keep you down. Yesterday you woke with a temp of 100.1, a cough that sounds horrific, and a nasty, gooey nose - all from a bad virus that is going around and taking kids out left and right. Not much the doc can "treat" as of now, your lungs and ears were clean and clear (which is a relief); but that doesn't help much cuz you still feel bad. :( And there is nothing in this world that is worse then having your own child sick and feeling bad and not be able to do much. Tylenol has been our friend, but even with that you ran a 100-101 temp all day today. After you soda bath tonight tho, it seemed to be going down in the right direction. it's horrible. i hate seeing you sick and achy. We've spent lots of time cuddling at in the evenings, and watched your FAVORITE movie - Monster's Inc. - quit a lot in the past two days. I took in the moment tonight, as I rocked you to sleep. We snuggle with your green blankie between you and I, with your fingers ...

Today was a very fun day stranded at home. See one of our vehicle has broken down, so we are left with just one car ... so Daddy is taking that to work and we get extra time at home together. :) So today we spent some time playing with paint and spending extra, quality time together. It was fantastic!!! Lots of laughs and great memories, altho it would be unfair to say there weren't any meltdowns either, but we worked thru them and got onto the funness! :)   I just can't get over your bed head after nap... it's SO stinkin' cute!!   You love lunch, well you love any meal time really. :)   You small lil' hands at work ...   An artist at work :) it was so fun to watch you paint.  so proud of your finished work of art :)   adding the finishing touches...  seriously ... YOU ARE ADORABLE! i LOVE you so much!!  this picture is just so precious to me! with the paint on the nose and everything.   waiting so patien...
