Ironflower is sick. While she and Lovebug both started the week with a cold, his is getting better and hers is not. But I promised myself that I was going to try to cut down on my whiny blogs, so I haven’t mentioned it. Because it must be my whining that is keeping people from commenting on the blog, right? Surely not everyone has stopped reading me? Or maybe you all think I’m as psycho as I sounded in my guilt post the other day?
Oh wait, this is about Ironflower. As I mentioned, Ironflower is still sick. She’s had a fever and has just been feeling pretty miserable. This morning when I was dressing her, I offered her a selection of comfy pjs and sweats. She looked at my selection of pastels and flowers and said, “Mommy, I think my Led Zeppelin shirt would make me feel better.” And damn if the child didn’t feel better today.
Oh, sure it could have been the Ibuprofen. Or maybe it’s just time for her to get better.
But when Ironflower was having her first experience with teething, you know what calmed her down? Led Zeppelin.
So if she believes in her shirt, so do I.

Zeppelin eh? I imagine it was the power of the Zeppelin that made ironflower feel better, well I’m sure Zeppelin would like to think that. Anyway, Great blog, I enjoy reading it and I will come back.

maybe I’ll hang onto my son’s Led Zeppelin t shirt when he outgrows it-maybe we can pass it to Ironflower in about ten years or so!

Eaglehawk - Thanks for coming by.
Mama Zen - Me too!
Silken - That’d be awesome. I’m tempted to buy a bunch now in different sizes so that we’ll always have one.

Ironflower is one cool kid. I’ve got to get Punkin hooked on something like that. Anything would be better than Bun-buns the teething bunny.

Your baby has good taste!
I’m glad she’s feeling better. I spent my weekend being sick, too.

Thalia’s Child - Well, I also have to put up with the Wiggles. But it’s to have something we all like to listen to.
Leslie - I hope you’re feeling better. Take care of yourself!
