Rising to the Occassion

Syd ran a fever the past couple of days. She swiped away the thermometer any time I tried to stick it in her armpit. Once I was able to keep it in there long enough to get a reading of 102.9 before she twisted away, crying, "Don't want it!" She was pretty miserable.

One of the days she was sick, I had to make bread. Talmage asked for a portion of dough of his own to knead. It must have been quite sticky, since it apparently required just a little more flour. This pic is a nod to a child's resilience: even when feeling utterly lousy, they are still up for fun.

Your such a good mom to let them play and get messy like that. I tell the kids they can only help bake at grandma's. So everytime they go there my mom asks why Brie wants to help cook. Hehe. I just act clueless.

Poor Syd! My kids were sick a couple weeks ago. I keep waiting for the day when they will be sick and actually want to lie down and rest. Kids ARE resilient.
