Watching TV on a sick day is a family tradition. Zola's new blanket, made by our friend Lauren, was just the right thing to keep her warm. Zola even has her own remote control (no batteries, though) so she can click just like Mom and Dad do.
Zola likes her new orange boot-slippers that Eileen gave to her. They're a little too big so it's tricky to walk with them.
Lately, Grover has become Zola's most dear and trusted companion. Here, he's doing his best Zola impersonation, holding the remote control in one hand, and her favorite blanket by its tag with his other hand. Zola seemed more amused than anything at this caricature.
[notice Zola's extremely choice front-butt. thanks, dad!]
Eventually, Zola felt good enough to do a little dancing to Baby Einstein, although you can tell her energy level is a little low.
[Yeah, she's a mouth-breather. She gets that from dad too.]
Then, we put on our hat and hit the stairs for several up-and-down sessions. (This picture was taken on the little landing as you make the turn to go up the second half of the flight of stairs.)
The two pictures below weren't taken on Tuesday, but they're pretty typical of the few minutes a day she actually sits still.
Zola loves her puppets - especially the Finger Puppets that Kendra gave to her.
And, finally, nothing beats hanging out with Mom on the seatbacks. There's even a little button you can push to make the back vibrate (Zola loves this).
By Tuesday night, Zola seemed to be feeling a lot better.
