..times two.  My girls are very good at sharing!  So far this school year we are on our second round of illness.  This time bronchitis times two (maybe three, Mom is in pretty sorry shape, too).  Dr. Yingling says it is very popular right now – glad my kids are up on the latest trends.

There is a cycle to this sickness.  Slow and groggy to wake up with several fits of coughing and wanting to snuggle with Mom or Dad.  Trying to decide what could possible taste good for breakfast.  Tummies full makes them up for playing for awhile with one another – usually “Kitty Cat”.  Then crash – usually a loud, unreasonable argument over a toy or game and then a quick descent into TV watching snuggled in on the couch or Mom’s bed with all the required “Lovies”.  Repeat a couple more times a day.

Ellie is turning 3 tomorrow and Mimi and Papa are coming in today to celebrate.  Hopefully, Ellie and Hannah will have had enough antibiotics for it to be a fun day for us all.  Luckily, Ellie is still little enough that there is no party to worry about or plans to change.  We will just take it as it comes, which is one of my favorite mantras.
