What a SOOPER idea!

Katelyn's been sick for the past week and a half with croup. She's been fever-free for several days now, but still has the barking cough. It's been quite the ordeal! Today I took her to the doctor for a follow-up appointment & he confirmed that she was not contagious & could be at school or out & about. I needed to hear him say that because when other people hear her cough, they look at me like I'm crazy. I hear their thoughts, "What are you doing here with that poor sick baby. She should be home in bed!!" Well, the truth is she has missed four days of school and church, but we are both so stir-crazy that we (I!) just needed to get out of the house.

So this afternoon I decided we'd go to the new King Soopers(136th & Zuni) and get our groceries for Thanksgiving. I love this store because they have child-size shopping carts & Katelyn is thrilled every time we go-(I haven't seen these carts anywhere else.) I think it makes Katelyn feel so "grown-up" to push her own cart of groceries through the store. On every aisle other shoppers remark about how cute it is(until today when she'd cough-and I'd get the stink eye!)

Katelyn sick with croup had fevers of 103.9-104.3. It was so scary!

Little Miss Independent!

Of course her "dog", Nona, had to come in the store with her. She takes "him" EVERYWHERE we go!

Glad you're feeling a little better sweetie!
