Dear Scarlet,
You’ve been kind of a sickling this week. When you’re up all night coughing it reminds me so much of when I was young and my own mother (your grandma) would take me to the bathroom and let the shower run while she rocked me and the steam got into my lungs. It was a very “circle of life” type moment for me. You feel asleep in my arms. It’s been so long since you’ve done that. It just reminds me how big you’re getting. I will always love watching you grow, but I can’t say that it’s not a sad thought thinking that today is the youngest you’ll ever be again. Anyway, the past few days have been a lot of trying to heal sickness with Fantastic Mr. Fox, Shel Silverstein, and gingerbread tea.
This blog is just too cute and so is Scarlet. ♥
