Woe is me

Alas, Arielle's streak of sweetness has worn off as she has been struck by the sick bug. For the past two days she has been crabby, difficult, non-compliant, etc., etc.. Last night Arielle did everything the opposite of what I asked her and this morning she cried whenever we told her to do something. Her phrase of the day was, "You don't understand". It must be difficult for young kids when they don't feel well because they can't communicate very well with adults to tell us what is wrong. I know that Arielle doesn't feel good but she won't ever tell me. All I can do is try to remain patient while she fights off this bug and continue to fight it off myself.
