I rushed from work to daycare to pick her up after getting a call saying she was warm to the touch, whiny and not interested in eating.
I can't say whether I was more worried about the fever — unbelievably her first since starting daycare seven months ago — or her lack of appetite.
Even when Josie had ear infections, she ate. Even when she was stuffy, she nursed...a bit like a fish out of water, gasping between gulps.
As I scooped my toasty sweet potato into my arms, one of her teachers handed me her lunch bag.
"She just didn't have it in her," she said earnestly. "I knew when she didn't want to eat her lunch that she wasn't feeling it."
The pediatrician checked her ears and throat. All looked fine. A little congestion. No antibiotics needed. Just some Tylenol and TLC. The doc left the room saying Josie should be feeling better in a day or two.
I'll give a sigh of relief when she resumes banging on her high chair for me to hurry up with the eats.
