olive is sick

olive woke up night before last at 11:30pm
michael hadn't even quite fallen asleep yet but since i fall asleep as soon as my head hits the pillow, i was
she was screaming and had a pretty croup-sounding cough
but her breathing was ok so we let her watch the cartoon she was crying for
and we all fell back asleep until the next morning
when she had pink-eye
poor girl
she spent most of the day on the couch

  michael was sweet and came home to take hazel to ballet so i wouldn't have to make olive leave the house
which was extra great because eleanor was napping anyway
and noah was happy to have a break from having to go anywhere
olive ended up falling asleep sitting up in her little chair while watching tv with noah
poor girl 
 we moved her to the couch and she slept for several hours
she spent the night in our bed with us because she wasn't very tired at bedtime
and she has an easier time falling asleep next to me
she's been really good at letting me put her eyedrops in 
and i am so grateful for that
and she doesn't seem to have croup so hopefully that was just a one night fluke
i'm reallllly hoping no one else gets pink eye
it's the worst
