While I was getting Aiden ready for bed last night, I sighed as I looked at his skinny little legs and tight little belly. That damn stomach virus really reamed Aiden this time. He still has dark circles under his eyes and still isn't 100%.
On the other hand, I look at my little Sky and there she is doing somersaults on the living room floor, climbing over the couch, jumping off the coffee table and taking laps around the kitchen as she sings "Dora, Dora, Dora, Dora". I think to myself, man! this little girl is so tough. I'm amazed that she hasn't gotten Aiden's stomach flu.
03:00 AM, Adam and I wake up to Sky calling "Mommy, Mommy, I get out! I get out!" So, I go over and pick her up. We sit in the rocking chair where we cuddle for a couple of minutes. Sometimes she likes to cuddle in the middle of the night and then she goes right back to bed. Suddenly she pushes off, sits up, and with a panicy voice say "no milky!". No milky? Okay, so no milky. Then BLAAAAA she throws up all over me. And that my friends, was the start of stomach virus number 2 in our family this week.
All day today, little Sky was not herself. She just wanted to cuddle next to me on the couch.We must have read thirty books today while sitting on the couch. Every so often she would look up at me with her glassy, fevery eyes and pink cheeks to say "tummy hurts me". The only way she was comfortable is if I let her cuddle up next to me on the couch. I guess, I'm her comfort pillow ; )
I took advantage of my iphone and snapped these pics.
My dear Sky even when you are sick you still look cute.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry you are not feeling well. I pray that you bounce back soon. In the mean time there is noting in this world nicer than a Mommy to cuddle up. You've got a good one so snuggle in and get comfortable.

Sky, you are like my kid's used to be, I could look at their eyes and know when they were really sick, even after they grew up! A Mother always knows. You are one tough little cookie!!
