Flu Day #5

Carly is on Day #5 of the flu, and hopefully the last. She has been fever free today, eating and drinking a little bit more, playing with her toys more independently. Unfortunately, she still has a runny noise, cough, and is not quite her happy, go lucky self.

Carly did manage to go down for her nap early today, which of course meant she woke up early. This allowed us to venture out to my favorite seasonal consignment sale. I had not planned on taking Carly into the mass chaos that this sale normally is; however, she woke up just before 2 (when many toddlers are still napping, preschoolers are napping or having quiet time, and elementary school moms are getting ready to get in the car pool lines or meet their little ones at the bus stop) so off we went. Our timing could not have been more perfect. There were no other moms looking through the 24 month clothes and when we were ready to check out there was only one other mom in front of us. (Usually, we wait for over 20 minutes.)

Carly's early nap time and first outing since Thursday also had her going to bed early tonight. Hopefully she will wake up at her normal time tomorrow morning, refreshed and back to her normal happy, go lucky self.

Playing with a "new" to her toy!
