Being sick = no fun
Zoe got sick over the weekend: she had a stomach bug on Sat. and a fairly high fever on Sun. (Let’s just say that Sat. night was not a fun one.) When things are normal I tend to forget how disruptive/tough it is to have a sick kid. It leads to less sleep for us, of course – but more importantly, the whole house feels so sad. Seeing your normally bouncy, active child just sort of sit there is kind of depressing – as is hearing her moan in her sleep.
Luckily, Zoe had a better night last night, and she is on the road to recovery today. (“I feel better,” she told me when I scooped her up this morning.) And here’s hoping we don’t have another bout of illness for awhile!
