Sick

We had a busy week this week, but the most significant was the fact that our little Clara was pretty sick. I took this picture of Clara on Friday at 6:30 pm. She had woken up at 11 that day, went back down for a nap at 1:30 and was still sleeping when I took this picture. She woke up around 7 and went to sleep for the night at 9:30. Saturday she was awake more, but still slept a lot. I think she had a sore throat because she said she was hungry, but anytime she would try to eat something, she said "ow" and wouldn't finish it. So she drank a lot Friday and Saturday. I felt so bad for her. She was extremely congested both days and it was hard for her to breathe.
By Sunday she was feeling much better, but we kept her home from church so she wouldn't get the other nursery kids sick. We did decide to take her to a get together though. We had friends in from Texas that we really wanted to see. We all met at Jeremy's brother's house and had a great time. We ate some very yummy spaghetti and visited for quite a while. Thanks Mike and Genevieve for being brave enough to have two 1 year olds eat spaghetti on your carpet! And thanks Mark and Sarah for making the time to visit with all of us!
When we got home from that, Clara was back to her old self. She thinks it's funny to put my long dresses on her head. She was doing that for a while and then started playing her favorite game of "go." She stands with her back against our back door, says "go," then runs through the house to our hall mirror. She stands with her back against the mirror, says "go," then runs to our back door. She repeats this over and over again. You can tell from this picture how much she loves that game.

sorry she was sick. You feel so helpless as a mom when that happens

She totally looks like she is dancing instead of running. She is so cute! Sorry she was sick! It's never fun when the kids get sick. :)

Go is my favorite game too. Happy birthday to Jeremy.

Oh, poor little sick baby. Sad. I hope she is feeling better.

It is so funny to read about things Clara is doing now because McKay is doing the same things. He LOVES to run as fast as he can through the house. Fun fun age.

Bummer she was so sick! And you can't do much for them at all.

I was sad to hear that Clara was so sick and also happy that she is now good enough to play "go".
