Alexa vs. Being Sick

While visiting some good friends out in the Syracuse area over Labor Day, Alexa got pretty sick, with a bad headache, fever and vomiting. It ended being Strep, diagnosed a few days later.

Jennifer was sitting on the front porch of our friends' house, holding Alexa.

Jennifer: "Honey, let me lay you down in bed or on the couch."
Alexa: "No Mama. I want to be outside. I don't want to miss the beautiful day."

Alexa was crying while battling a bad headache and high fever.

Alexa: "My head hurts so much. And I don't know what to do about it!"

Alexa is the Doctor

Oliver threw up at a friend's house the other night, we think caused by something he ate.

Alexa: "Why did Oliver throw up?"
Us: "Something in his belly needed to come out."
Alexa: "Maybe it was the pizza crust."
Us: "Hmm, maybe [definitely was not]."
Alexa: "Oh yes, I think so. It was the crust."

Dr. Alexa then proceeded to pull out her friend's doctor bag and insist on "taking his temperature" and hearing his heartbeat.
