I'm Sick!

Usually Kian is always the baby that is talking. He never, ever is at a loss for words.

His most favorite phrase is, "I'm stuck!" He uses this whenever he doesn't know what else to say.

He uses it when he really is stuck, too! Then there are the times when he uses it when he thinks he may soon really be stuck,but isn't quite there yet, as sort of a disclaimer.

This past week, though, that little phrase has evolved into something else.

You see, my babies have all been really, really sick. In fact, it started with Vivie, and worked its way to Kai, and has now visited Kian, and it just will not go away!

I even have it! But, poor Kian, no matter what I give him, the sniffles and the cough seem to linger.

At first, he would look at me and say, "I'm sick!" Then his voice became gravelly and it was a sort of barking version that came out.

I was very sad when it stopped coming out altogether and was replaced with very sad baby blue eyes that had little tears behind them that just stared at me and blinked every now and then.

But, sometime yesterday, his little boy voice came back! Of course, the first thing he said was, "I'm still SICK!"

I had to giggle, though, because it was promptly followed by his signature, "I'm stuck!"

Thankfully, he is back to chattering and eating again, so I think he is getting better. Now if I can only keep him from actually getting stuck, I will be in business!
