Bedhead.

Madeline had a check up at her Pediatrician yesterday. It's a funny thing that mom's sort of just "know" things....

When Madeline woke up yesterday morning she felt warm to me. Of course I didn't think it was anything serious but then her cheeks were becoming more red as the morning went on. I thought maybe she had sunburn from all the walks we're taking.....or perhaps a reaction to her sunscreen?

At the pediatrician's office they took her temperature and sure enough, she had a slight fever. Nothing to be concerned about, but it explained her lack of interest in basically anything. And of course, her red cheeks.

We came home and I gave her a little Baby Tylenol and then it was nap time. She slept most of the afternoon. Woke up long enough to take a nice walk in the stroller to get some fresh air and then to have a major diaper blow out followed by a nice warm bubble bath....and at 4:30 she was ready for bed. I was reluctant about putting her down so early, but as I said to my husband...what do you like to do when you're sick? Hang out and play..... or sleep? At 6am she woke up all giggles and smiles again (cheeks not nearly as red anymore) and here she is with a major case of bedhead! Of course it's much cuter in person.
