Healing
admin | December 29, 2008Yesterday, it all went reasonably okay. She stopped throwing up in the late morning, and it all calmed down dramatically. While Daddy and Grandma and Grandpa went to the store, I tried to my hardest to get her to take a nap, but it wasn’t happening. Finally, when they came home, we turned on the football game, Buttercup laid down with me on the couch, and she fell promptly asleep watching football. It has the same effect on me.
Really though, I think that while she was exhausted earlier in the day, she didn’t want to feel like she was missing anything. Her grandparents were here! She was absolutely thrilled with them, and it’s always hard when they go. She says their first names so softly, as if in utter regret. Daddy’s parents are magical bringers of good bagels, toys, and fresh affection. So, she slept on my lap with all of us around her, and she just looked so peaceful and comfortable. We were all with her.
We watched The Lion King with them, and it was the first time she’d seen it. She was so excited, and she had a million questions about the story line. Daddy kept skipping the upsetting parts, and even though he skipped over the stampede scene, she repeatedly asked, “Where did the Daddy Lion go?” Oh, boy. She loved all the animals, and she asked what they all were. The singing was fun, too. I’d forgotten what an emotional movie it is. My point of view on things has changed so much since she was born, and any heroic act of motherhood/fatherhood or even a damn Johnson & Johnson commercial is enough to push me over the edge into tears.
She seems much better today, and so far there’s no fever. Here’s hoping it was a 24 hour thing. I think we’re going to have a quiet day at home playing with the new Christmas toys, all the same.
What a relief! Glad it came and went so quickly.

There isn't too much worse than when they are so

The Lion King is good. Nothing to do with
