We’ve been sick

Alissa has been fighting a cold for the last week or so. Unfortunately, I caught the same cold late last week but both of us are on the tail end of it I think.

I’m not sure if it’s related to her cold, but Alissa has refused to take milk the last couple days. One of our theories is that she may have developed an ear infection which made sucking milk out of a bottle painful. We’ve been trying to get her to change her habits with regard to milk for a while now so this may be a blessing in disguise. Perhaps, instead of requiring warm milk, in a bottle, held by us, she’ll start accepting cold milk in a sippy cup held by herself. One can dream, no?

So instead of milk, we’ve been trying to feed her liquids in other ways. Mushier oatmeal, thin mashed potatoes, jello, and her favorite, yogurt/milk/peach smoothie. Funny thing is, she takes the smoothie through a straw in a cup we got from T.G.I.Fridays. And she wants you to take a sip after she takes a sip. She’s so high maintenance. Oh well, as long as she doesn’t get dehydrated I guess.

In other news, Alissa is done with swim classes now and seems to be more comfortable with water. She still doesn’t like it in her face, but it’s not as big a deal as it used to be.

Also, today, she refused to go down for her second nap and so instead, decided to take one half way through dinner.
