We were all set for a snowy, sledding, fun-filled weekend in Breckenridge. One little hiccup in the plan — Annabelle woke up from her nap with a 104 temp. Off to the doctor we went and what do you know? Strep! This is a February tradition for her.

Annabelle and I stayed home and sent B and Gwyneth off to Breckenridge. It was my attempt to keep Gwyneth from getting sick (keeping my fingers very tightly crossed that this plan worked!). Annabelle’s fever spiked to 105 in the  middle of the night but then broke Saturday morning. Nothing makes me more anxious than a sick little one. I DO NOT LIKE IT. I worry. I stress. I can’t sleep. I just hate when they don’t feel well.

Even though she was feeling very sick, she was very specific about what she wanted to wear and how her hair needed to be fixed for her doctor’s appointment. 3 braids – not one, not two, three! C’mon mom! Not even an illness can turn off this girl’s sass.
