Sick Kora


When do you know your child is sick? When they climb into your bed and put themselves to sleep! Our poor little Kora is sick...again. She had the flu a few weeks ago and threw up everywhere. It was a relief when she was her happy little self again. Then the flu bug hit Hunter and Mylie. They were all better but now Kora has started up again. She had a rough night last night. I'm worried now that the other 2 are going to get it again too. Sick babies are no fun. I hate being sick but if it made them feel better I would take on their colds for them if I could.

After we picked Hunter up from school today I was making a snack for the kids while they played. I went upstairs to tell them it was ready and Kora wasn't in their room. I asked Hunter where she was and he said she was downstairs. I knew she wasn't so I looked in my room and there she was...in my bed, with her blanket and baby. You know your baby is sick when she puts herself down for a nap. Poor thing.

Daddy Must Need Blessings


Last night we said a family prayer. Kora was saying it and Kelly was helping her. Here is how the prayer went:

Kelly: "Heavenly Father, Thank you for this day"
Kora: "Father, Thank You for Day"
Kelly: "Please bless the Prophet,"
Kora: "Bless Prophet...and Daddy"
Kelly: "Please bless our Bishop"
Kora: "Bless Bishop...and Daddy"
Kelly: " Please watch over our family"
Kora: "Watch our family...and Daddy"
Kelly: " In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen"
Kora: "Amen"

There was more but that was my favorite portion. Kora is such a Daddy's girl. She loves her Daddy. A few nights ago she was crying so I went into her room to calm her down. She immediately told me "No, I want Daddy!" I guess she knows that if Daddy comes in there's a small chance she may not have to go to bed, where if Mommy comes in there is no chance. Kelly went in to calm her down (and didn't let her stay up) but the crying stopped and she eventually fell asleep. Ever since Kora was a little baby she has always been a Daddy's girl. During the day she's all mine but when Daddy's around I'm pretty much chopped liver.
