Beckett fell sick a couple of days after her 1st birthday. This may have had a little bit to do with it:
While she took to the cold water like a fish and enjoyed every bit of the 3 minute rendezvous with the swimming pool, I take full responsibility of not ensuring that she be spared the wet windy aftermath that she had to endure.
The result was a nasty Fever that left Beckett scorching hot listless and Missus sleepless.
It also gave me a firsthand view of how important Moms are to us kids and how our world would fall apart without our moms. Dads don't matter at all when we are sick. Kids instinctively know the sacrifices that Moms are willing to make and turn to them for comfort and succor.
Fevers are not a cool way of turning one.
But while she lost around 5% of her body weight and scared the living daylights out of all of us, she is much better, and now that she has the anti bodies, she feels like a big strong girl.
