Elephant is sick!

Abbie kept saying this the other day and was putting her elephant on the couch with a bowl and bottle of juice and telling us that elephant didn't feel good. This must be what it's like from a child's point of view to be sick. Last week Abbie had the flu for a few days and she spent lots of time on the couch watching TV and drinking Pedialyte and eating crackers. She was really good to keep a bowl nearby and luckily, we didn't have too many messes we had to clean up. It's nice to have a child old enough to tell you when they feel like they are going to throw up so you can be prepared. Now, dealing with watching your child be sick and having to clean it up while you are fending off your own urge to puke because of morning sickness, that's not so nice!

The girls also are all into feeding their animals meals so they set them up on "highchairs" and put on bibs and then feed them cookies with spoons and bottles of milk. We might have a problem in 7 months when they want to feed their new sibling cookies all the time...
