Aisling has finally recovered from her bout with the rotavirus. Her digestive system is also back on track, so she now able to enjoy milk too. And she's making up for lost time by eating constantly. Bowls of cereal, bowls of rice with and without seaweed/nori, fruit, yogurt, cheese, cheeps, bread, granola bars - pretty much whatever she can get her hands on. Last night, she munched on some cereal while dinner was being prepared and then gobbled up a plate of spaghetti, and topped it off with oreo cookies. Well, the creme of the oreo cookies.
Her new favorite? A treat that's pronounced "hot duck", which is NOT warm water fowl, but Korean-style pancakes with a brown sugar filling. Grandma brought up a batch. The kids devoured it. Devlin, as he grabbed the last one from the tin, said "Grandma better make some more before she leaves." So Grandma did, and now Aisling is polishing them off.
Her little belly is back and her cheeks have filled out again too. Her energy level is back to normal, as well as her impish smile.
On the weekend, when it was time for her nap, she gestured to Uncle Billy to pick her up. She then pointed to the stairs. He took her up. She directed him to the rocking chair and pointed to the blanket, saying "Cold". When Uncle Billy picked up the wrong blanket, she corrected him by pointing again to other blanket. Then she turned on the CD player with her lullaby tunes, and climbed into his lap. Saying "baby book", she pointed to her nap time book. When her uncle was done reading, she pushed it away, and settled against his chest and promptly fell asleep.
After a week of having a sick child, it's nice to be back to our usual, daily routines. More importantly, it's wonderful to have healthy and happy kids.
