Mom’s Ill, We’re Bored, Got An Ice-Lolly
Mom’s been sick since last Friday and we don’t know what to do with her. She hacks and snots and sneezes all over us all day and night. We’re kind of over it with her. She’s very tired so we haven’t been walking very much and she feels bad about it so we’ve gotten more treats lately, so that’s ok.
Tonight we had an ice-lolly (that’s what Amelia’s mommy calls a popsicle, she lives in England) sounds fancy doesn’t it? Actually only I (Simon) had some, mom let me lick the stick and it sure was good.
So, mom’s sick but we think she’s improving. We’re back to sleeping in our bed with her so that’s a good sign.
Ta-Ta for now (we think that’s english too)

Hi Simon, this is Layla. My mommy is sick too. She keeps coughing and blowing and I’m over it also!! BUT she does let me lick her freezies sometimes. I like that you talk using English words… it’s very attractive. I think you should come to my house… we could share an ice lolly. Tell your mommy that my mommy says… get well soon!
Love and kisses
Layla

Simon, at the next soccer practice, would you teach me how to do that wraparound tongue thing with the popsicle stick? That looks cool, and very efficient for savoring every last morsel of sweet treat.

Little Simon, what sharp little teeth you have. I remember those, well, I really remember your baby teeth and how sharp they were piercing through my skin. I’d like to share an ice lolly with you. Maybe we can do that in the near future. I love you very much. I’m very glad your mommy is feeling better, she was very sick for over a week, that’s a long time. Thank you and Hallie for taking care of her, I love you both very much. Give your mommy snuggles and kisses for me. Love, Grandma
