Fingers crossed

Erin’s sick again. Well, not sick as in very sick, but just your usual colds and cough. I wouldn’t be surprised if the GP told us it was viral in nature. But with the ever so fickle weather and her exposure to other kids in childcare (or maybe we just need good air filters!), the doctor said that it was natural for toddlers to get this sick frequently as they are still building up their immune system. She said it will get better when she’s 3. I do hope so, because it ain’t all fun seeing her with a runny nose and spewing phlegm every so often! Fingers crossed she’ll be out of it by the time we hop on board that plane back to the homeland, because I certainly don’t want her being irritable with a blocked nose and aching ears while we’re up in the air.
