Sick Day Savior

Mikayla was really really sick.  Like any typical sick person all she wanted to do was lounge on the couch.  She would ask for Elmo all day long and there were a few days (and long nights) that she got exactly what she asked for.  Now I love the furry red monster just as much as any other mom, especially when that cute furry 3 year old would keep my sick little girl happy, but let’s be real.  He can get old.  His voice can get a tad irritating especially when all I wanted to do at midnight was sleep.  Thankfully, one of the episodes we watched over and over again also had a great song by Jason Mraz in it.  Mikayla would be just as mesmerized by this song as she was by Elmo himself.  The words ring so true as we’ve not only been stuck inside with our cold winter, but also stuck trying to heal our little bitty.  Good song, great lyrics, a cute musician and some wonderful monster dancing. Take a look and listen…
