on being sick for the first time

Dear Luce –

I’m so sorry that you’ve been sick this week! It stinks to have stomach bugs and especially when you’re experiencing your first cold. I just wanted to write you to tell you how sweet you’ve been despite feeling under the weather.

You are the sweetest baby ever. Even the nurses at Doctor Donohoe’s office say so. You make being a mom – or a doctor/nurse – easy jobs to do. When you cry, it’s only because you need something. You’re truly a dream.


Today marks seven days of being sick. I think you’re definitely getting better, which is in line with what DD says should be.


Love you,
Mommy
