Baby Sisyphus

MS: Amelia is continuing to get better, and is starting to eat more. She still hates her medicine, just like I did when I was little. The doctor said that babies don't usually fight medicine like Amelia does until they're two years old. Then, he laughed at us.

Amelia and I played a little game last night where she would crawl to the diaper stuff, pull out the roll-on baby powder or the wipes or something, then I would hold her legs and slide her on her belly across the room. Then she would just crawl back, grab the wipes, and I would slide her back again. This went on, over and over, for about fifteen minutes. She reminded me of a baby Sisyphus, sliding that rock up the hill for eternity. Finally, I decided to add a little twist to the game, by laying down on the floor directly in her path. So she crawled up to me, looked up and over, and with a look of determination she crawled up and over and reached the other side! No obstacle will stand in the way of what this little girl wants...
