Little under the weather...

Aubrey Rose caught some kind of bug. She is almost back to normal now, but we haven't quite found food that sounds yummy to her. She has been offered a ton of different things, however so far, applesauce and Pedialyte ice pops have worked at least for a couple of bites. Hopefully her appetite will be back in no time. So we have stayed at home enjoying all kinds of entertainment. I tried to think...what would I want to do if I didn't feel good? Maybe a movie. So, I put on a video for her. How do you get a child to enjoy watching TV? She is hilarious. She has to be busy while she does it. She found Daddy's video game basket with controllers to play with. Those are now up high where she can't reach. Then she found the coasters...those were scattered all over the room. Then, on to the remotes. Those are now scattered in different rooms because she takes them with her when she leaves. That girl is hilarious. The sweetest thing she does is she will come find me wherever I am in the house, she will walk up to me, give me a big squeeze and hug and then she will return to the family room where the movie is playing. So sweet. She can melt my heart in a second.

We had no idea Aubrey was not feeling good. Give her a big kiss and hug for us. We will see you when we get back from our trip. Happy Easter, take lots of pictures.

Hey Blake & Cherie!! Thanks for sharing your sweet Aubrey Rose with us over the internet (since that's all we're going to be able to get for awhile!!!).

That's a GOOD thing that Aubrey doesn't want to watch TV and movies!! When Kiersten and Garrett were little, alot of my friends would pop in a movie and their kids would sit there like zombies for the next couple of hours. Even though I wanted the quiet time, they never sat still thru movies.

Sorry that she's feeling under the weather, and hopefully the bug will stop and no one else will get sick.

Lots of love to you all!!!
Your fun cousins in Minnesota--Terry, Karen, Kiersten & Garrett

Isn't it so tough when your little one is sick? The feeling of helplessness is crazy! Thank goodness for the blessings of God and Western Medicine. Glad to hear that she is feeling a bit better. I know that she will be up and tearing things apart before too long.
