Dear Zayde,
This week I learned that everyone can get sick at the same time. First, Daddy was sick. His head hurt, and his nose was stuffy, and his throat felt like fire. Then Grandma got sick. Then I got sick. Then Mommy got sick. It was a bonding experience for Mommy and me because we were stuck at home together, all by ourselves, with nothing but tissues and steamy showers and Sesame Street to keep us company. I learned that Mommy isn't much fun when she's sick, and one day she was so tired that Daddy stayed home from work on a week day, which I hadn't known was possible.
This week I also learned that having a cold makes you hot, even when the temperature outside is frigid. I learned that we've been affected by something called a "polar vortex," which has made me both excited and worried about possible giant white bears in our backyard. Luckily, we live far south of anything resembling "real" winter, so the extent of our winter wonderland is the opportunity to wear our most adorable sweaters and socks.
This week I learned that the best medicine is rest, so I'm going to cut this short and take an extra nap today. That way, I can stay up nice and late and play with my parents until we all pass out sometime near dawn.
Ahem,
Zelda
