My little girl is home sick today. She battled a fever all night, and it still hadn’t broken this morning. It is high, so we’re managing it with children’s Motrin (if it is low, we let it work). The end result is that she has low energy, a very gloopy nose, and high spirits.

Since I stayed home with Ele, I asked my dad to take my dog to the kennel this morning (so I wouldn’t have to take her too), and when he came over, he brought my childhood doll, Laura.

Ele loves her already. She took her into the big room “for a nap” and said when Henry gets home from school that he can be the daddy.
