Pink Eye

It's one of those illnesses that every parent dreads, right up there with chicken pox and lice. Lauren came down with pink eye and a nasty cold on Friday. Thankfully, we got some prescription eye drops from the doctor before the weekend started, and she's been convalescing at home for the last few days. Today has been a lot less coughing, less runny nose, and more of a pink eye (rather than a bright red eye). So I think things are looking up and we're just praying she is completely healed soon. (Believe me, it looks a lot worse in person than in this picture!)

Since she was feeling better this morning, Lauren and I made breakfast together for Daddy. She helped stir the pancake batter and set the table for us. I made some Mickey Mouse pancakes for her and her response was, "Yay! Now make Goofy!" Ha, I'm not that good!One last silver lining to this illness is that it didn't strike until Friday. That's very good, because Thursday was her first picture day at school. We haven't seen the official school pictures yet (of course) but this is how cute she looked on Thursday morning. Such a sweetie!
