The kind of surprises we don't like...

Little Sister was fussy this morning.

Then she was quiet and still and content to sit and watch show after show on Playhouse Disney. I knew she was very tired, but when I went to stroke her hair and ask her if she wanted to get dressed, I realized something else. And even if I hadn't, she pointed it out.

"I have a febver. You need to check it. "

So I did. And she did. 102.4 to be exact.

I can't see any other symptoms. And I can't count how many times this has happened to the poor kiddo since the first time she spiked a random temp at two months of age and we spent nearly all night in the emergency room.

My sweet baby girl is taking it like a champ. I've administered tylenol, juice, lots of snuggles in mommy's lap, books, WAY too much tv time, and rest. After the cutest little scene of head-wobbling and drifting off in the recliner (she gets that from her Papa), she is currently sleeping soundly in her big girl bed.

I'm thinking, since I don't know how long this will last, I might join her.
