this photo is from way back in august, when it was hot and sunny outside. not like it is now. it’s minus an ungodly number here in toronto and because my girls and i have been sick since the weekend we have been holed up inside our home, which is now probably germ infested, for far too long. every time i tell my mom i’m going to go out she warns me against it. “it’s tooo bitterly cold out” and “don’t go out with the girls” followed by “you better put an extra jacket on niyya” are some of the things she’s been saying to me. it’s all coming from a protective and caring place, i know it, and to be honest, i myself didn’t feel like going out until this morning when we had plans to meet friends to play. but once niyya woke up from her morning nap i realized that plan was not going to materialize. she was still cranky, still uncomfortable, still unhappy with her constantly running nose and nasty cough. daani has the same issues, but can somehow tolerate her symptoms more than her little sister.

so we stayed home and played, and i dreamt of better days. like this day when we hung out in bed. and not because we were too weak to do anything else, but because bed is such a fun place to be. don’t you think?

on a side note, niyya is so little here. my my the time does fly.
