Penny caught something at daycare last week. It started with a cough and then a runny nose. Friday, I stayed home with her and she came down with a fever. Friday night, she slept with us, coughing through the night. Saturday, the doctor said that she should get better in a day or two.
This is the first cold I remember, having such a big effect on her behavior. She has been unreasonably fussy and has no appetite. Maybe she has some pain that she can't quite describe yet (she does like the taste of the medicine and claims that her head hurts if you ask if something hurts). I'm afraid that spoiling her (with juice and whatever she will drink/eat and tv) while she's been sick may have encouraged some bad habits, too. But, our friend who is visiting and has a couple kids says, we ain't seen nothing yet, in terms of terrible two behavior...
