Just a little tighter

Grace seems to hold on a little bit tighter as I walk her around the house this week. She's been sick with a really bad head cold since the 16th or so. Then last Sunday she broke out into a horrible rash from head to toe. I hate for her to be sick but I like the extra help she gives when carrying her around. 30 pounds of kid can get tiring when you have no help from her. Imagine carrying 30 pounds of rice or sugar to her room to change her diaper, back to the livingroom, to the car, out of the car, back into the house, to the livingroom, back to the diaper changing table, to the dining room, back to the changing table... ok I have moved some diapers and wipes to the livingroom. Point is, when she helps by holding on even slightly, her "dead" weight feeling is less. And I like the extra "hug-feel" I get.
