snotty Grock

Grockelina has had German measles, conjuctivitis, excema and now tonsillitis (I can blame her father's side of the family for almost all of them). She likes her medicine but would prefer to have the whole bottle at one sitting. She lies on my knee watching Balamory "Bala!" and snuggling. This is not the Grockelina I know, who resists cuddles. This Grockelina is warm and soft and sleepy and pale, and she ought to be feisty and naughty and pushing all the boundaries. I'm looking forward to the next day she walks about saying "no no no" before trying to climb into the washing machine/open the bin/stick her hands in the loo/open the kitchen cupboards. The spice rack will not be safe for much longer I hope.
