poor anni monkey
My poor little baby is sick. She had a cough that has gotten worse over the last 2 days so yesterday I took her in to the pediatrician. Turns out she has croup (which I had no idea what that meant but is apparently a collection of symptoms that stink) and an ear infection. Her cough sounds like a dog barking and is so sad! She wants so much to be happy. Case in point: she was crying this morning after coughing but then caught a glimpse of the cat walking thru the kitchen and stopped mid-cry to clap her little hands. Precious.

my only association with "the croup" is that it's what always happened to the children Anne of Green Gables babysat. I would say it's very sort of romantic to get such a victorian illness...but it probably doesn't feel very literary to ya'll! :)
Get well, anni-girl! We are thinking of you!
Hopefully she'll mend much more efficiently.
