On the road to recovery

Well Emme has been sick for 6 days but on the road to recovery. What started as a cold, became a cough and 2 red ears and a sore throat. She had a big fever for 1 night but then just one less intense flare-up. She's doing better and went back to "school" today. I called and she was already napping after eating her lunch. We are supposed to go away tomorrow so hopefully her recovery will continue. I couldn't help take a few pictures of her yesterday napping and then eating a pedialyte pop. She doesn't like to be covered with blankets but has a new fondness for towels. Despite all her ailments she was a real trooper. She laid in bed for a few days, watched "toonies" and cuddled with me. Yesterday was harder as she was just cranky probably from her schedule being upside down and just plain old cabin fever. The one exception was when I went to the grocery store to get her some jello and she wailed for 30 minutes and laid by the front door crying for me. I felt so bad and by the time I got back she was eating yogurt with grandma. One interesting thing which evolved was that she has always called me "mama" almost from the beginning. However, she called her nannies all "mama" too. She calls my mother "ma" and my nana, "nana". She calls women she likes "ma". Two days ago she started to call me "MOMMY". While I am partial to "mama" this signifies something to me and I wouldn't trade it for anything. Signed Mommy to Emme Li
