Summer afternoon
Jul 12th, 2008 by Eve
Aya was up late last night with a cough and a terribly sore throat (still!). She was crying because she couldn’t even swallow. Roleplay was truncated and I missed the last half of Dr. Who, but with much cuddling (and ice chips, honey, and Motrin), she finally fell asleep, so it was worth it. I don’t get much of a chance to mother her, so it felt good to be able to comfort her.
Anyway. She’s feeling better and her tonsils aren’t so swollen now. I’m still too sleepy to write much.
The air was clearer today and it wasn’t quite as hot, so Aya begged to go outside for a while. We wandered around the garden, tending the plants. Aya picked strawberries, screeched when some ants crawled on her arm, and played with an enormous earthworm before letting it go back to work under one of the tomato plants.
