Addi has been sick this week...very sick...as in sinus infection and strep throat kind of sick. After watching her slowly start to fade from perky and playful to weak and tired on Sunday, I determined that Monday was going to be a sick day for both of us. Usually, when the kids are sick, Jared and I split the responsiblities, but this time he was not able to and I was more than willing to take care of my sick baby. I decided that I wasn't just going to work from home, instead I took a personal day so that I could spend the ENTIRE day nursing my sick patient. I took her to the doctor, I let her pick out toys while we were in Walgreens waiting for her prescription, I gave her a picnic in the living room that consisted of milk and applesauce because that is what she wanted, and most of all I let her sit on my lap with her head rested on me as much as she desired. I hated that she was sick, but oh how I loved that day, and oh how I NEEDED that day. It's hard when you work outside of the home to not be the one to always be there when your baby needs you to be, for once I was able to be and it did my heart so good.
Our adorable daughter is on the mend...today was proof enough when I caught her standing on her brother, while he laughed. Thank God he wasn't hurt, and I'm not sure how he wasn't, but even so, at that moment I realized two things: 1. Addi is getting back to her feisty self and 2. Addi and Brogan are so amazing together. :)
