"Terrible Cough!"

Well I returned from NYC on a Monday, and by Tuesday both girls had pretty bad colds! Larkin is back to normal now, but Willa's cold turned into an ear infection (just like every other cold she's ever had--this girl is a good candidate for ear tubes soon). The antibiotics weren't working on her and so they upped her to a stronger medicine today. We're hoping to have our old Willa back soon-she has been MISERABLE. We've spent a lot of time on the couch. It's felt like I have an infant again-she wants to be carried everywhere and I can't get anything done because I'm constantly carrying her!! She even fell asleep on me two or three times-something she hasn't done in over a year.

Larkin has been very sweet and tries hard to comfort Willa when she cries. There were a few times though when all Willa wanted to do was sit in my lap and whimper, and Larkin would say, "Willa, why don't you want to play with me? Play with me! Come on! Let's play my little ponies!! You can be Sarah!" You know she's being sweet when she lets Willa be her favorite pony!!
