I thought we could avoid it. Everyone around us has had something; bronchitis, colds, stomach bug, hand foot & mouth, I've heard all these things mentioned here and there and I was feeling a bit proud of ourselves, being so healthy and immune.
Courtney spent a few days couch bound, then one night I came downstairs and saw that Grace had joined her in misery.
I spent a bit of "sicky" time with her. We turn on the TV and watch stupid shows, snuggle and talk. For the girls, we watch Say Yes to the Dress or Hoarders or something that normally doesn't make it to our family TV hour. You know, something real enriching and educational. But for Grace there was not a thing on for a four year old girl. So we ended up watching Spongebob (but it's a secret so don't tell anyone.) And for as sick as she was, that girl can talk. We discussed Christmas and puppies and why Spongebob is a really stupid show. All kinds of important things.
"But don't grab my neck. that berry hurts. You have to be careful with me."
"But mommy, sick people stay out of bed." That's right. Sick people get to do a lot of things that they don't do when they're well. Like sleep on the couch. Or the floor. Where ever is comfortable.
