Sick

Tess has had a stomach virus for a couple of days. I thought she was over it today, but then she threw up after her nap. After throwing up, she felt much better, so I put her in the stroller and took a long walk in the sun. We ended the walk at a Mexican market in our neighborhood, and Tess was enchanted by the large fish tank filled with fish for sale.

She pointed at the fish, acting out their mouth movements, saying things like:
"Mama! Look! Fish swimming."
"Eyes! Tha's funny."
"That one swimming, too!"

One of the fish looked close to death. Tess asked why he wasn't swimming and I told her the fish was sick. "Oh," she said, "he need to throw up."
