Chicken soup

The sweet, candy-like smell of our refrigerator's newest tenant, Amoxicillin.

A vague memory of the bedroom clock as I snuck back into bed at 1:30 a.m., again at 2:20 a.m., sometime during the 3 o'clock hour, and again at 4:27 a.m.

The groggy morning shuffle completed with a sobbing koala clinging to my weary and sleep-wanting neck.

Hot baby breath on my cheek as salty tears mix with kisses.

Big brother finding favorite books for the cranky crier.

Sammy's got an ear infection.

At least the snuggles and hugs are good for both of us.


Red leather chairs, penicillin, plaid pjs and the Summer Olympics.
