We have been sickly this week. Walker and Betsy have both had pink eye. As you might remember from your own childhood, this ailment is extremely contagious so the mother in me is just waiting for the next one to fall.
Betsy woke up Thursday and Friday unable to open an eye. She was pretty precious about it, and we quickly made that part better. Medicine can be an amazing thing. One dose of eye drops in the affected eye and it was better. Don't worry, we will continue the course of treatment because we don't want it to come back.
Our neighbors had their fourth birthday party on Thursday afternoon. Because Betsy's eyes weren't clear, she wasn't able to go. I anticipated a meltdown on her part. Not the case. After taking Mary Frances next door, Betsy and I came home to prepare supper. I thought she might want to be my sous chef. She had a different agenda. She asked if she could put on her princess costume and dance.
We put on the costume and I found the Frozen soundtrack on my phone and she danced.
Truly, she entertained herself for over an hour dancing.
She never complained once that she couldn't go to the party. Instead, she kept telling me that she wasn't able to go because of "a pink eye".
Wonders never cease! My baby is growing up!
That's very mature of Betsy! Or maybe the eye was bothering her too much, that's why she was enduring it to get better. Either way, she probably realized it'll be a lot better if she stayed home and put on her princess costume and dance the night away. It's certainly was best if she stays at home and let it heal. Things like this resolve by themselves, but if it doesn't go away after a few days, it's a good idea to take her to a doctor. I hope she's well now!
