Both my darlings are ill. Both are napping and I’m boiling soup as I blog. Sophie caught a cold from a friend and James had a fever and food poisoning.

This is the first time that Sophie is sick – fever and runny nose. We went over to a friend’s place for dinner knowing full well that her daughter was having a cold. But I thought since she would be sleeping by then and I wasn’t going to let Sophie roam around the house, that things would be fine. I took a chance coz it was sort of a business dinner plus they had already prepared dinner and we couldn’t get a babysitter.

I learnt a painful lesson at the expense of Sophie – baby germs are powerful! As a result, my friend also fell ill and James had a fever too.

Sophie is much better now. Fever’s gone within a day and the nose is less runny. We decided to let her body fight the cold and didn’t give her any medication/see the doc. Really glad that James has lots of experience as a medic and the pd is just a phone call away.

James on the other hand is still not ok but he should be ok soon.

I was so worried coz this was the first time Sophie’s been sick. But she took it quite ok, whiny on the first day but today she’s back to norm. I’ve really been learning a lot from my mum in law’s just pray attitude. I believe that it is a miracle that Sophie bounced back so fast. Thank you God.
