Since poor Savannah had almost nothing to eat or drink for about 24 hours due to her stomach bug, I asked the pediatrician if it was OK if I gave her some Popsicles. That’s what I always got when I had a stomach bug and we’ve actually never given her one to eat, which is weird, considering what treat aficionados we are.
She was so good in HEB (local grocery store) that I gave her one when we got in the car. Also, see above – poor kid is so thirsty. She took a few licks and this was our conversation:
S: “This is good. It’s like a lollipop.”
Me: “I’m glad you like it. “
S: “Mama, you bought the best Popsicles…..these are SO good.”
Me: “I know and do you know what? You can have as many as you want today because Popsicles are a ‘feel better food’.”
S: “Thank you SO much for getting these Popsicles. I think I’m going to start by eating four.”
