It's not a free ride at our house

Brenna learned a lot from her sick days between Thanksgiving and New Years (RSV, ear infections, upper respiratory infection, eye goop, teething, etc.) She got a lot of attention, a lot of cuddling, and a lot of special alone time with Mommy and Daddy.

So, the faker sometimes tries to pretend she's sick again for the perks. She coughs for about two hours and then forgets to cough again.


After her lies, we put her to work as punishment.


(Just kidding, but these pictures were too cute not to post. )
