Silly Sammy sipped six sodas and got sick sick sick

Well Zofia did not sip six sodas but she did get sick. She caught a virus and for the last 3 days had a terrible fever (over 104 at one point). I finally took her to the doctor's office yesterday and found out that she has Herpangia - a type of coxsackie virus (lovely). Coupled with temperatures soaring into the mid-high 90's, keeping her comfortable has been challenging to say the least.

Luckily it's a pretty short duration virus and she's already acting better today, meaning she didn't scream or cry for a seemingly endless time to go down for her nap.

And of course, throughout it all her appetite was unaffected - go figure.

Throw salt over your shoulder? How about broccoli?

That is Zofia's newest "trick". Anything she doesn't want to eat goes over her shoulders and on the floor. She started doing that just a couple days ago. Molly has never eaten better. She even knows the cue ("all done?") to come clean up the scraps.

Zofia LOVES being outside going for walks in the woods, picking up sticks, and playing with rocks. Luckily the weather has been terrific so we can go outside in the morning and in the evening.

Other favorites include: watermelon (absolute favorite), strawberries, peaches, blueberries, apple, rice cakes, rice crackers, and meat. Not a big fan of veggies - can't say I blame her. Lately she'll eat broccoli and cauliflower with garlic but that's about it right now.
