Even I Fall Sick

I am experiencing my first bout of sickness, down with a fever and flu. I also had a rash (heat rash) which I brought back from traveling too much over thanksgiving. But you know, I am a tough boy, just like my maama, and I will get through with this. I guess I couldn't avoid sniffing around. You know, my maama also had a cold from the trip. She keeps her nose around mine, so I couldn't avoid the contagious flu. Then maama took me to daycare for a day when she had to run around, and I guess the babysitter couldn't keep the other older kids around. So, it's been a tough week. But then again, life is tough and I am tougher. I can still play and giggle amidst the high temperature and sneezing. I am doing well, maama says and she is so proud of me.

Jaaja (my maternal grandma) says, I am growing up, that's why I caught a flu. It also shows that I am active and will help strengthen my immunity. Oh! I am sniffing right now (ma says, "Bless You" and again, "Bless You"). Oh! I look forward to getting through with this but I know my ma is more worried that mysel. You know, she loves me so very much..

Overall, I've been a great boy to date, and I hope Santa picks up on that and brings huge huge bounty when he comes down. It's been a while since I've been here but things have happened..I witnessed the election of our first black President as 44th President of the United States, celebrated Halloween (ma had wanted me to be Cornell West but didn't happen), enjoyed thanksgiving with my (paternal) family in Bartonsville, PA, and I have been immunized twice, now that was not enjoyable but I guess it's part of growing up. In less than two months, I'll return for my next immunizations. By then, I hope to be able to sit perfectly and completely rolly from place to place
