Tough Week & Monkey See, Monkey Do

Poor Jocelyn, it seems like everything has been tough this week! She has "crocitis" on her small toe and it just won't heal (diagnosed by Jason's mom--apparently those Crocs are a little too loose on the toes and rubbing is a common occurence). We have tried soaking it and putting antibiotic cream on it for weeks. It will get a little better and then get worse again. She's also had a horrible cough that is dry, but just keeps going. Last night she coughed for 45 minutes straight and couldn't quit (this has been going on for at least a week, but finally seems to be getting better today). Two nights ago, she had 4-5 whelps (kind of like hives) under her neck that were itching and itching. Then her earring holes started getting sore and bled a little (and Jocelyn doesn't like to see that!). For a kid who is normally in pretty good shape, she took a beating!

I include this information mostly to explain about the picture I wanted to post--Jocelyn was soaking her foot and before I knew it, Olivia was right in there wanting to do the same thing. Olivia even patted her head and said "It okay Josie. You okay". Jocelyn was able to pull herself out of her misery long enough to pose for the camera :) Just one example (actually captured on camera) of the "monkey see, monkey do" situation we have at our house.
