nap time

Dan snuck this adorable pic during my nap with Sloane the other day. We've sure needed our sleep lately. Little Sloane had her first fever on Sunday and Monday (topped out at about 100.6). It broke around 2:30 a.m. on Tuesday morning. She only could sleep for stretches of an hour or two on Sunday and Monday night -- and, she preferred doing that lying on her side on top of her mommy. We were worried it was an ear infection, so I took her to the doctor on Monday morning. No ear infection, she just felt poorly. Poor thing had the fever, a pretty nasty cough and a runny nose like you wouldn't believe. Boy does she hate that nose syringe!

All is well now, though. She's back to her happy, jolly little self. Actually, she was even in a relatively happy mood when she was sick. Even with the fever in the doctor's office, she waved at the doctor right when she came in and smiled and giggled at her. The doctor was very impressed that she was already waving without being prompted (the doc had not waved first). And, she said that her happy mood was a very good sign that nothing was seriously wrong. She is such a trooper!
