Love

Our job is to love others without stopping to inquire whether or not they are worthy.
That is not our business and, in fact, it is nobody's business.
What we are asked to do is to love, and this love itself will render both ourselves and our neighbors worthy if anything can.

Thomas Merton (1915 - 1968)

Sick Beanarina

Chloe came home from school on Wednesday not feeling well. She chose to lay down on the sofa and skip dinner. Food just did not sound good to this Bean. Then there was diarrhea. And after going to bed, she started throwing up. We changed out her sheets several times before she realized what that rumbly tummy meant and she should hurry to the bathroom. Chloe threw up over ten times and wasn't done before 1am. It was a long night and it wiped her out.

This is how Chloe spent much of Thursday morning. She took a good 3+ hour nap on the sofa in the living room.

Look at those pigs! I love those sweet pigs, even though they are not cute little bebe feet anymore. They are getting so big.

After Chloe woke up, she felt much better. Although food still didn't sound good to her. She didn't eat much of anything all day and made me work at getting her to even drink any water or gatorade (she turned up her nose at Pedialyte!). We were happy that what she did eat and drink stayed down.

I was able to finish early with work close to 1pm and helped her get set up for painting. She had been asking and asking to get the paints out. I love that when she starts out, she pays special attention to painting the corners of the paper.

She's a tough artist. She has tattoos.

Chloe spent mucho time cleaning her paintbrush between colors. I was just glad she was feeling better and not a little sack of potatoes wiped out on the sofa. Hard seeing one of my babies so sick.
