We're going on two weeks of sickness for Lily. Which means my energy is waning, and my desperation to keep a cranky 2-year-old happy is waxing. So we've resorted to a few unorthodox measures.
Like storing markers in a rainboot

Or having multiple tea parties per day. (No shirt, no shoes, no Shout stain-remover needed.)
Lots of reading with Daddy
(not an unorthodox or unusual measure, but too cute of a picture to pass up)
(Supervised) filling of Mommy's pill case. And then repeating it again the next day. And the next.
Lots of Mommy-doesn't-care-what-toys-you-want-with-you-as-long-as-you-nap naps
Some of which result in some pretty awesome hair.
Lots of baths each day. Some three minutes long. Some thirty minutes long. But all with huge puddles on the bathroom floor.
Parties with Lily's dog friends. This one was a gum party, and each guest got a piece.
Not pictured:
Lots of tylenol and amoxicillin, and lots (I mean like danger-to-the-Amazon-rainforest lots) of Kleenex boxes.
And (thankfully) we've had lots of snuggle time, too.

How could one sickie be so adorable? I hope her sick mom is doing better as well. Do you need someone to host a tea party in YOUR behalf?
You should just take Lily to the animal shelter every day and let her look at the dogs all day long. I'm sure she'd be as happy as could be!
I agree, how can she be so happy in those pictures if she is sick?! Those are hilarious. And who doesn't want their markers in a rainboot? Maybe I could finally get rid of Jacob's birthday bubble gum by dispensing it at a stuffed animal tea party.
She's lucky to have a mom like you. I hope she gets feeling better soon!
Those are desperate measures? When Micah was sick, ours went more like this: 1-watch Baby Einstein. 2-drink chocolate milk with acetemenophin in it. 3-watch Baby Einstein. 4-count down the minutes until he could drink chocolate milk with Ibuprofen in it. Repeat 1-4. You're the best mom ever!
Okay, crazy hair Lily is awesome. Also, I love that I recognize nearly every outfit of Lily's cuz we used them. Thanks for sharing your clothes.
