The Penguin


It happened, I contracted my first bug. Thankfully, mom was paying attention to my subtle signals and got me to the Dr. right away. Yes, I'm sick. I have an upper resiratory infection and a middle ear infection. We've started the medicene, which I quickly decided I hate. Each time I see that pink stuff coming, I turn my head or shut my mouth. I'm a pretty intelligent little girl. So, twice a day, mom spends about 15 minutes playing distract and drop with the pink bubble gum liquid that I continually try to spit out. This results in an uncomfortable pinching of the cheeks which forces me to swallow. She's a pretty tricky mom.

So this cold has landed me back in the cradle next to mom and dad's bed. They've inclined my mattress to help with the drainage. They got the crazy penguin humidifer going to help with my sniffles. And I'm back to giving mom sleepless nights. Hopefully, I'll shake this thing fast. My cough, sniffle, and tug of the ear just breaks mom and dad's heart. Posted by Picasa

Ainsley,
I know how you feel because when I was little I used to get the same bug that you have. It is a good thing that your mom has some experience in taking care of sick little ones and I know that she is doing a great job, she always has. Anyways get better so when you come to SC you can party hardy with us big folks!
Love,
Aunt Trishie
