Lily is sick again! She is totally making up for the first 2 sickless years of her life. Her cough (which never completely went away) came back strong on Saturday. Then all day yesterday I spent the entire day wiping snot off her face. We literally went through an entire box of Kleenex. Today has not been much different. We still have the cough medicine the doctor prescribed to her last month; and while I hate to give it to her, I also hate to hear her up all night coughing and see her in the morning covered in her own crusty mucus (sorry, is that too gross?). So hopefully that will help clear her up some during the night and her cough will ease up so we all can get some sleep and she can get better soon! I am so hoping I don't sick also, but all things considered I am fairly certain that I will. :(
Here are some pictures I took of her playing this morning upstairs in the playroom. It had been awhile since I took pictures up there!
Look Mommy, a triangle!
It is kinda hard to see, but this was the best picture -- there is a huge knot in her hair, upper left side. It was so tangled from her twirling her hair trying to sleep last night that I had no choice but to cut in out. Now she has some choppy uneven layers. :(

okay, totally none of my business.. but since this what i do for a living.. here is some sick kiddo advice! (sorry) first get a COOL mist humdifier, it helps snot stay slimey and watery and makes it easier to cough up. only put tap water in it! everything else will make her more snotty. wash it every morning with 1 part vinegar, 2 parts water then air dry. second, put lily on across your lap on her side, lift up her arm, cup your hand and smack along the side of her rib cage under her arm pit. it loosens snot from her lungs and makes it eaier for her to cough. i'll shut up now. lol. advice is really annoying.. but hopefully it will help! good luck!
