Sickie and sweet

eh

This has been the most half-hearted play time Lali has ever had. She just has no energy, but God forbid you take her toy away! Then she’ll fuss at you in this half-hearted way that rips your heart in half.

Her playing became more and more perfunctory before it lost all momentum. She slumped over to the side, toppling the toy over, and continued to play by pressing the big blue button over and over again while staring at a fixed point off to the side.

A healthy Lali would push that button and wiggle joyously at the ensuing melody. But little Miss Sickie just lies there. And look how sweaty she is! I can give her a mohawk by shaping her slick hair with my palms. It’s actually pretty adorable. I should have taken a picture of that. :)

I took Dr. Baggins’ (smile) advice and put some cold water on her. I didn’t think about the air conditioner dehydrating her. I also gave her a little back massage since I don’t have an infant vibrator or massage device like Aunt Linda or Uncle Ben suggested. Hopefully that should help her sleep at least.

That and all the drugs she’s on. :)
