Sometimes T kills me with how absolutely sweet she is. The things she says...the way she phrases things...her sweet little voice...her actions while speaking.
Tonight I asked to look at her ear/jaw and asked if it hurt. She said yes. So I asked, what does it feel like?
"The ants are pushing the rock out and it hurts. They're pushing like this, with both hands"...as she holds her hands out like stop signs.
That is a verbatim quote. T often speaks of aches and pains in terms of insects. If some part of her body falls asleep, she says, "I have ants in my feet" "I have ants in my tushie". Or for a stomache ache or hunger pains...I have bugs in my tummy.
This new description is actually genious in my book. (Yet, isn't everything she does genious in my book?) Anyway, it DOES feel like there's a rock below/behind her ear from the "mumps that are not mumps".
She just got a dose of motrin, to help stop the ants pushing.
God, I love this kid!

Sounds like life is funin your house - maybe she will grow up to be a bug person - great way to look at things - very desciptive...
Hope she feels better soon!
