Birthday parties and viruses - taken in stride

Priya started the week of her birthday with an ear infection, progressed to a cold and cough, and graduated with a classic case of Roseola. That was Tish's diagnosis the day before the rashes broke out. Who needs to go to the hospital when you have a 24-hour nurse on standby! For those interested, here's Priya, probably looking her worst. The good part is that the rash doesn't itch. Poor baby.

This past weekend we were in Michigan where Priya got to enjoy two birthday parties. Like Addy, Priya liked the cake, but didn't go all crazy with it. It may be that she was running a 102 fever, or probably more so that she is a fairly clean eater. I had to finally take her hand and smoosh it in the cake.




Yesterday we had the opportunity of another family day. I had some work downtown, so at the last minute we all decided to pile in the van and head out. The girls did some window shopping while I got done. Then we headed out to the Millenium Park, where I had my first look at the finished Bean. Looks pretty cool. We had a minor 'famous person' run-in when we saw Linda Yu from ABC 7.

Cool pictures Bipin, i didn't know the bean was done and i walk past it every day.

Sorry to hear about Priya being sick ... it just breaks your heart as a parent when your little one is sick - and there is so little you can do to take away their feeling uckiness.

Hasn't it been hot? gosh ... so quick ... what's up with this city?

Poor baby. Glad to hear she is doing better. Cute cakes for her birthday celebration. It's weird seeing that area of downtown. The buildings I now previously managed are right there in the photos.
Have a happy Easter! Once the weather gets a little predictably more nice Jason and I want to have a "so you have a child under two years old also" party. : )
