Will It Ever End?

This winter has been particularly cold and snowy! I am ready for it to be over. Not only am I ready for the warmth to come but I’m ready for the sicknesses, flues, runny noses, sore throats and coughs to be over. It seems like we have used the sign ‘sick’ in our house more this year than any other year. My son was extremely cute the other day when he finally got the stomach flu that had been traveling through my house. To give you the back story, when my daughter was out with this terrible flu she could hardly talk because she always felt that she would be sick if she did. She just kept signing sick over and over again (she liked the sympathy from mommy). Then my son got sick and was very lethargic, he was laying on the couch and I said to him, “Are you okay baby?” and he looked at me and signed ‘sick’ just like his sister had over and over again. I wish I had my video camera running because the cuteness level hit 10 that day.

Due to the yucky sicknesses we have been passing back and forth this winter I felt that SICK would be a great sign of the week this week.
