Suffer her wrath!

Well, in my last post I stated that Lucy had a "little" chest cold, which was her cue to get worse. This morning her cold was much worse, coughing until she gagged or until she vomited much of the day. She also bumped up her irritability a few levels to match the severity of her illness. When she is sick she feels that everyone MUST pay for her pain. For most of the day it was me, and then Zachary came home from school and she began torturing him.
Late in the evening I left them both sitting on opposite sides of the couch while I went downstairs to grab some socks. Within a moment I heard Zachary struggling underneath his sister(he will not hit her back or hurt her). And as I came up the stairs I hear Zachary screaming "She bit me! She bit meeeee!" When I got to the top of the stairs Lucy ran past me and stuck her nose in the corner- didn't even need to be told to serve her punishment! Its like the child actually weighed whether or not biting her brother was worth the time out and decided that it was! Sheesh!
Zachary and I will BOTH pray that Lucy feels better tomorrow!
I also wanted to add that I am SO excited right now. I just found out about a brand new product from Nutricia, the company that makes Lucy's formula. A new formula called Nutra ( http://www.neocate.com/aaa_neocate/16153-product-neocate-nutra.html ) that is "semi-solid"...basically like pudding! Lucy could potentially eat this with a spoon at the dinner table like FOOD!! Of course, this wouldn't be her main formula, just sort of a "snack" for normalcy, but wow its exciting! There is a chance she wont tolerate it, but we wont know until we try. It unfortunately costs 90$ so I am not sure when exactly we will try it, but I would certainly like to give it a trial run.
