A Day for Popsicles

Today was gorgeous. 88 degrees and sunny. Owen's disposition, however, wasn't like the weather outside. Poor kid has a cold and a bad cough. After a lousy nap and a cough that kept him from getting any rest, we went to the doctor's to make sure it wasn't anything more than just that. He's just got a cold, fortunately and we have to ride it out. I thought he could use some cheering up, remembering that when I wasn't feeling good, ice cream or popsicles always made me feel better. It did the trick. Owen lit up when he saw this fascinating blue thing. All he wanted to do was hold onto it but when we put the treat to his lips and he tasted it for the first time, he went from wanting to hold it to wanting to eat it. And eat it he did! We took him outside to finish it off and he went from being miserable to being happy. Mom & Dad had popsicles too. Owen's was blueberry with ice cream inside. Mom's was raspberry and Dad's was orange. Owen sampled them all and we even had to fight him to get ours back!

Love,
Marisa
