Poor Doodle

IMG 4522Aw, my poor little doodlebug.  Last night I got home from a lovely downtown coffee date with my ladies and heard Grae calling for me in the most pitiful little voice.  It was odd for her to be awake at 11:00 p.m. and I knew that something wasn’t right.  I went in her room to find her absolutely burning up.  We stripped her down, put her in some summer jammies, gave her a dose of Tylenol and some water, and put her back to sleep.  Needless to say, it was a rough night and we ended up with a congested, coughing little heater in our bed for much of the night.

IMG 4527We stayed in bed until 8:30 this morning and when we finally got up, I decided to juice an orange for Miss G in hopes of getting some extra vitamin C into her.  She’s never had juice before, so we thought she’d love it, but it was actually just the opposite – she wouldn’t even try a sip.
