Papa Takes Childcare Leave

Dearest Little Skyler,

Papa took childcare leave today to take care of you. Skyler had a runny nose and bad cough. Mama was not feeling well either so Papa had to take the leave to care of both of you. Papa still feels uncomfortable taking childcare leave as this impacts on Papa’s work but Papa had no choice as you needed to be cared for. Family must always come first!

Mama and Papa brought Skyler to see the doctor. He carried out the usual checks and prescribed you some medicine. We also asked him about your thumb and we got ointment for it as well.

Once we got home, we fed you your medicine in your milk. This was the only way you would take your medicine. We used to try all means to get you to consume your medicine – soaking it in bread, etc. We’ll continue to try this method until it doesn’t work anymore. The problem with this method is that you must want to finish your milk which is not a sure thing. Sigh…

We love you!

Mama and Papa
