A sick day

Dec 22 - We are officially sick here! I woke up at 5:30am crying but managed to get myself back to sleep. I woke up for real at 8am. When Mommy came and got me she knew right away that I was really sick. I feel really warm and was all snotty. She took my temperature and I was at 99.9 degrees and that was just under the arm. She brought me out to the family room and we ate breakfast. I wasn't really in the mood to play right away like I usually am. I just wanted to snuggle with Mommy for a while. Mommy gave me some Tylenol to help with the fever and then I was ready to go back to sleep for a bit.

I slept for about an hour in my crib and then wanted Mommy again. She brought me back out to the family room and I fell asleep in her lap for a while longer. I was really tired. When I woke up I was in a much better mood. I guess the sleep and Tylenol worked. I was ready to play but still stayed close to Mommy. We were playing on the floor when Daddy got home from work. He told me he was sorry for getting me sick.

We played for a little while longer until it was time for me to go back to sleep. Mommy put me in my crib and I took a short nap. I didn't eat very much for lunch so Daddy gave me a bottle of water to keep me hydrated. I guzzled it down. I ended up playing a lot with Daddy this evening and having a great time. I sat with him in his chair and watched him play his game. I walked to him when he asked me to which made him really happy. He decided to help Mommy rest a little and fed me. He put me in the highchair and tried to feed me the chicken noodle and green beans and potatoes that Mommy tried to feed me for lunch. I don't know how else to tell them that I DON'T LIKE IT! I shake my head and try to hit the spoon but they keep trying. They think that since I liked them as the 2nd foods I will like the 3rd foods. They taste funny. They finally decided that I needed to eat something so I had more oatmeal and fruit like what I eat for breakfast.

It was getting time for more Tylenol but Mommy held off for a little while so that I could get it right before bed. They got me changed for bed, suctioned my nose, and gave me more Tylenol. When they took my temperature again it had dropped a little to a 99.4. I was in bed at 8:20pm. Hopefully, I will get a good night sleep and feel much better tomorrow.
