Poor Audrometer — she’s gotten her first real cold. Stuffy head, runny nose, cough, fever… the works :( Few things are as heartwrenching as seeing your helpless yet still adorable little girl hacking and struggling to get a breath through her clogged-up teeny-tiny nose …and then smiling when she looks up at your face, just cause you’re there.

To make matters worse, it’s really starting to take it’s toll on The World’s Number One Mom & Wife (aka Nichole) in terms of sleep. Audrey doesn’t sleep for very long (although finally giving her some Children’s Tylenol seems to help), which means that we don’t sleep for very long. Check that: Nichole doesn’t sleep for very long, as she insists on being the one to get up at 4:28 in the AM when Audrey wakes up fussing and hacking, on the grounds that I have to get up and go in to work (”That’s your job..”) and she is supposed to take care of Audrey (”..and this is my job.”) I’ll take over for a while on particularly bad nights, but by and large she’s the pre-dawn trooper. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, now that further evidence is fresh at hand: I don’t deserve such blessings.

And please pray for the Buglet, so she can get to feeling better in time for her very first Christmas!
