I just want to say a big hearty Thank You to Elmo and the makers of the Mam Pacifier. With a sick toddler, our $5 Elmo Movie (that would be Telly and Gordon stuck in Grouch Jail on the TV there in the backgound), and a long-lost pacifier, were my lifesavers today. Emma has a funky something going on - probably teething related, but one can never really know. Her little two-year molars are coming in, and she woke up today with a weird cough, red/watery eyes/and a runny nose...and of course, she's practically inconsolable. While trying to get her down for nap, she found a pacifier that got wedged in between the wall and her bed...she'd been without any for over two weeks, and instead of convincing her she was a big girl and didnt need it anymore, I took the cowards way out - I said a little prayer of thanks for my angels (or maybe it was hers) watching out for me, stuck it in her gooey runny-nosed face, and tiptoed out of her room 3 minutes later breathing a sigh of relief. We'll tackle big-girl stuff again in another week.
Keep her in your prayers - we're still hoping to make it to the Family Get Together on Sunday as long as The Funky Somethings are gone.

I fell so bad for Emma (and Momma too!) Hope she is feeling better soon. It's times like this that I wish I were closer so I could just come and hold her all day.
So sad. Hope you are better. Love, Gammy
