We are officially having our first bout with a sickness. There is a fever involved that is not from growing new teeth, There have been tears from both parties, and snuggly naps. I feel like a bad Mama for letting her get sick, and not holding her enough today, and not letting her eat only crackers today . . . the list could and does go on really. I made her drink bone broth with raw garlic, and Braggs apple cider vinegar (that went over REAL well) and drink tons of water.
I did let her read all her books today and nap on me for two hours. I guess it was bound to happen at some point, but seeing her sick did not make it any easier. And can I just say, Ellie is one tough cookie! She has still been pleasant, sweet, and full of her manners that we taught her! Full of Pleases and Thank-You’s to everyone we have been dealing with and have meat on our times out of the house! I LOVE HER!
Today because she has been so good, we went to Costco and bought her a watermelon. her absolute favorite food! She was so happy as we were leaving! I had put the melon in the shopping cart seat right next to her, and she was loving on it, and giving it kisses! it was the sweetest thing! She got lots of complements from the other shoppers.
Side note: Yeah, we bought a watermelon, IN season, IN February, IN California! Summer for the WIN!
