Sick for the first time...

Evelyn napping with Mickey Mouse

Evelyn napping with Mickey Mouse and Monkey today

Poor Miss Evelyn has been sick since last Wednesday with a nasty virus of some sort. This is the first time she's been sick. She woke up on Wednesday morning sounding pretty raspy and then started to run a temperature later in the day. This weekend things started to break up a bit in her nose and chest--so she's had a very runny nose and the coughing sounds even worse (but it's good to see and hear things moving out of her system.) She's been pretty miserable until today. She fell asleep for her afternoon nap after playing with a few toys in her crib--she's really taking a liking to Mickey Mouse and her stuffed monkey. She woke up talking to Mickey and Monkey and had a big smile on her face again when we went in to get her up!

We also knew she was starting to feel better today because she's been crawling around getting into EVERYTHING like she normally does! Daddy even set up a little road block in the living room doorway to try to keep her in one room, but as you can see, she figured out how to bypass the roadblock! I'm so glad that she's starting to feel better! She needs to be feeling better so we can enjoy our trip to Mackinac Island next weekend!

Evelyn escaped past the laundry basket roadblock and made a break for the bathroom (guess it's time to start keeping that door shut!)

I was so glad to see her looking perkier today when we did our video call. Even happier now to see things seemed to improve as the day went on. I'm working on a blog from our dinner at David and Becka's. Fighting with the picture layout as usual! Love you guys.

Maybe you should leave that bathroom door open. Maybe she is telling you she wants to use the facilities!!
