Looking gorgeous in the midst of illnessIn the lore of childrearing there is a bit about kids getting sick when one is about to go away/have an important event/or when is otherwise not convenient. Fiona has outdone herself in living up to that lore this week.
We are getting on a plane tomorrow morning for our "Midwest extravaganza" (post to follow) and so on Sunday Fiona came down with a malaise and barfing illness,: We took her to the doctor, got anti barfing medicine, then fever started then diarrhea, or was it the other way around....anyway, we now have a rather pathetic limp child who is still very cute but occasionally projectile vomits or blows out diarrhea. Sound fun? Apparently this is part of normal childhood stuff, who knew!?
So here is a bit of fiona over the last couple of days, this one of her on the potty is being kept to further embarrass her in her teenage years. She fell asleep on the toilet leaning into my lap.
So we'll be the ones with the sick looking kid on the plane to Chicago in the morning. She's looking forward to the plane ride and right now I'd do just about anything to make her happy. I'm bringing and extra change of clothes for the plane just in case though.

Poor baby! Aren't sick little kids pitiful.
Never mind, they also get better pretty quickly and I'm sure the trip will be fine!
I have memories of poxy children (three of them) on a flight from Newfoundland to Australia (I was travelling on my own with them too) with a letter explaining the bizarre spots for immigration people at the other end.... noting that it was only chicken pox! They looked quite impressive.
God this is a cute shot, though - man she is emulating annie behavior totally - looks like she is acing the 5 star treatment expectations - just brilliant - you go girl baby fi - watching the movies and sipping a drink and feeling free to spew wherever - ah, that's the life.
Get better sweet heart
All our love xxxxx
