Sickness part II

It is gone. As quickly as it arrived, the fever has left. This morning, she awoke with no signs of an infection. Only the desire to go to The Little Gym where she could see Esme.

With the leaving of the fever, our daughter returned. At dinner tonight, along with the meatloaf, broccoli, carrots, and piece of bread with butter, she ate a bowl of oatmeal. A book says that when a child is sick, you should give her familiar food. We indulged her with the oatmeal.

Bath time solidified the realization that she has returned. For three days she has not wanted to take a bath. Today, she was ready. We stripped off her cloths and in she went. She bathed, then wanted to play in the water. Following bath, she wanted to run around. These are all signs of the recently elusive Tahlia.

As Mommy left to feed Asher after we finished reading books, Tahlia ran to her and gave her a great big hug and kiss accompanied with an, "I duv you Mommy."

It is gone, and she has returned.
