NURSING A COLD
A few days before Kayla came down with a cold, probably caught at school from one of her classmates or it could just be the weather or it could have been Ralph. At first she had the sniffles then it escalated to runny nose and hard cough. Thankfully she didn’t have a fever and that she only got a mild case of flu. A day before our Anniversary Ralph was stating to feel lousy and achy and was nursing a headache. At least he didn’t get the flu this time just the simple cold. I thought that Kaitlyn was in the clear since she has not shown any signs of getting the cold from either her dad or big sister, until tonight. I noticed she had the sniffles by early afternoon by evening i could see that she has the cold now. I just came down from putting her back to sleep, her throat is probably hurting, she sounded so awful while crying. I have her sippy cup handy when she wakes up again, give her a little sip so as to dampen her throat and have liquid in her. I just hope that she will get better right away, taking care of a sick toddler is not fun, they are cranky, whinny and very very demanding.

Colds get worse before they get better. Hang in there, she will be back to her lovable self soon.
