Ill

Boy, I feel pooped!

Coco is diagnosed with hand-foot-mouth disease and Baby, stomach flu.

Coco has five medicines to take while Baby, seven.

I can't even get Baby to take one. Whatever medicine you try to force it - not even come close to 'down her throat' - into her mouth, she spews it out if it ever gets past her lips.

And when a baby is sick, he or she would become super clingy, even for Baby. When she is in the pink, she rejects being carried. She loves to be on her toes, all about on her own. When she is sick, she cries the moment her feet touch the floor.

Just feeding her the fever medicine alone is enough to wear me out.
