Dolls, Dinos, Dough & Diamonds...

Josie has been pretty sick. Oddly, she's been all fever and little else except a bit of a runny nose, a whole lot of drool, and a couple of complaints about her ears.  It's really slowed her down, but I think she's finally over it today.  She even started eating again this morning, which is a welcome change from last night when she said to her mac & cheese (which she never turns down): "I can't eat. My belly has a fever." Here are some photos of her the past few days, keeping herself busy while not feeling so well.

This first one makes me smile. Here is Josie switching back and forth from her dollhouse and her dinosaurs.  Actually, she had just finished making a delicious "dinosaur salad" in the salad spinner.

Here she is admiring what she called her "magic playdoh wand".  

She yelled to me, "Come check THIS out..."

 

I think this one is the one where she is most obviously sick - poor little thing.  She gussied herself up in her "diamonds" and said to us as she walked out to model from behind the couch, "Wow, I look wonderful!"

And, feeling extra sick yields lots of extra cuddles.

 

Even though she was feeling yucky, she still had her trademark silliness.

  

Finally, I'll leave you with Josie's first "garden" courtesy of Tia, Tio & Lyla.  While our plants have certainly peaked and only the basil remains (such is the case when you have no yard for transplanting your zinnias), we had so much fun watching and learning about seeds, plants, etc. over the past couple of weeks.  

(Have I mentioned how badly we want a house?!)
