Battling the Crud


Poor Ava has been sick with a case of croup all weekend and probably for the rest of the week. We had to cancel our plans for Mom's birthday weekend down in Monterey. We were really looking forward to taking Ava to their aquarium. But there will be other weekends and right now we have our own seal barking toddler at home. So it's warm tea, juice, a humidifier, walks in the cold night air and lots of cuddle time reading. She's being a trooper as always but we're not looking forward to another winter of battling the crud.

What has been cheering Ava up the most lately is dinosaurs - she just loves them. She'll drag her few dinosaur books around the house saying "dino time, more more dino"! I got her a few baby dinosaur figures and she totes them around happily, especially "baby stego". While we don't let Ava watch TV we'll let her occasionally sneak a peak on the computer. This one got the sick little girl up and dancing today.
