Sick Courtney

The last day of school before Christmas break and Courtney woke up barking like a seal. She usually will get croup once per year and this was her time. I emailed her teacher and the school to let them know and then I had her lay down on the couch while I helped Ethan through his morning routine. While he was practicing the piano I turned and saw this on the couch:
She claims that she wasn't asleep but I know better. The poor girl. I dropped by her class at school to clean out her cubbie and give her teacher a present. I took her to the doctor to get the steroid she takes for 2 days to get rid of the seal bark. Then I ran a few errands. It was kind of a bummer that she was sick because I had a lot I needed to get done on my last "kid-less" day before Christmas. But I got it all finished okay.

That afternoon Courtney felt much better and wanted me to drop her off at school. Poor girl didn't do well when I explained that she had to stay home because she was still sick even if she felt like she wasn't.

By Friday she was fine and driving Ethan nuts again!
