Lulu gets sick

Early one morning, Lulu woke up and wasn’t feeling well. Lulu didn’t know why. Maybe it was something that she ate for dinner that wasn’t good. Or maybe somebody she played with the day before had a cold, and now she caught that. Lulu got out of bed, and her stomach gurgled.

Oh no, she thought he was going to throw up. So she went over to the bathroom, and leaned her head over the toilet bowl, facing down. Suddenly she could feel her stomach pushing things out, and then bleck, she threw up. Bleck again, and she threw up a little more.

Lulu felt dizzy and tired after throwing up. She rinsed her mouth clean at the bathroom sink. Then she asked her daddy to come over and check on her. Lulu’s daddy saw that she wasn’t looking very good, and touched her head which felt warm. Lulu’s daddy decided that they would go see the doctor, just to make sure.

Daddy carried Lulu, because she was too tired to walk by herself. When they arrived at the doctor’s office, the nurse told them it would be a short wait until it was their turn. Lulu was glad she had a chance to see the doctor soon. When it was their turn to go into the doctor’s room, the doctor checked Lulu’s temperature.

The doctor looked at the thermometer, and told Lulu’s daddy that she had a fever. And that must be why Lulu threw up in the morning. The doctor wrote a prescription for a fever reducing medicine, and said that they could pick it up at the pharmacy downstairs.

Then the doctor gave Lulu a sticker for being so brave and well-behaved at the doctor’s office. Lulu smiled and looked at the sticker, which the doctor put on her shirt. It was a sticker showing a little boy and little girl jumping, with the words “healthy and happy” underneath them.

Lulu didn’t think that she could jump right now, but she was looking forward to when he would feel better enough to jump again later. Lulu and daddy went to the pharmacy downstairs, and got the fever reducing medicine. Then they went home to take the medicine.

When they got home daddy read the instructions on the fever reducing medicine, and it said to take it with water, but not to eat any food. Lulu didn’t even feel hungry, and was glad not to eat anything yet, because she didn’t want to throw up again, or do bleck again. Lulu took the medicine, and then went to lay down and rest.

Later when Lulu got up from her nap, she was feeling better. And she decided she would try to eat something, because now she was feeling hungry. Daddy touched Lulu’s head and it didn’t feel as warm as before, so the fever must be going away. Daddy made a sandwich for Lulu, and Lulu ate the sandwich, slowly slowly slowly.

Hidden under hats

One day Lulu was getting ready for her friends Sally and Jimmy to come over and have lunch together. While getting ready, Lulu decided to wear a hat today. So she went to the closet and picked out a nice hat. It was a red knit hat with a puff ball on top.  Lulu liked how it looked on her, and then she picked out a book to read while she waited for her friends. Sally arrived first, and when she knocked on the door, Lulu answered it. Lulu smiled when she saw Sally, because Sally was also wearing a hat.  She was wearing a brown knit hat, and it was just round on top, with no puff ball like Lulu’s hat. Sally came in and saw Lulu wearing a hat, and Sally said it was funny that they were both wearing hats today. Then Sally picked out a book to read with Lulu, while they waited for Jimmy.  After a few minutes, Jimmy arrived and knocked on the door. Lulu answered it, and smiled again when she saw Jimmy, because today Jimmy was also wearing a hat. Jimmy had an orange knit hat, wit...

A Can of Paint

One day Lulu was getting ready to go for a bicycle ride. She put on her helmet and took her bicycle outside. She rode past the park and reached a large parking lot. The parking lot was empty today, and there were no cars parked there. Instead, Lulu saw that there were some artists drawing things on the ground.  Lulu got off her bicycle and walked up to the artists. She asked them what they were making. They told her that they were making different designs with paint. Then they told Lulu that she could also join them if she wanted. Lulu said she would like to do that. She wondered what she could make.  The artists gave Lulu a can of paint, and a paintbrush. Lulu walked to a blank spot in the parking lot and she took the lid off the can of paint. She dipped the paintbrush into the paint and started to draw a circle. Then she drew short lines coming out of the circle, and this represented the sun.  Then she drew some wavy lines into the shape of some bubbles. And this repres...

Zebra Can't Find Any Spoons

One day Zebra was making some oatmeal for lunch. Zebra opened a drawer in the kitchen to get out a spoon, but there were no more spoons. Then Zebra remembered she had lent all her spoons to Bunny for an art project. Zebra went next door to Tiger's place, to borrow a spoon from Tiger. Zebra knocked on the door and Tiger opened it.  Zebra told Tiger that she didn't have any more spoons in her kitchen drawer. Tiger invited Zebra in and they went to his kitchen. When Tiger opened his kitchen drawer, there were no spoons in there either. And Tiger also remembered that he had lent all his spoons to Bunny for an art project.  Then they went to their friend's place next door, and asked their friend Elephant if she had a spoon to borrow. She checked her kitchen drawer and all her spoons were gone. She also lent her spoons to Bunny who was making an art project. Then Zebra, Tiger, and Elephant went to look for Bunny and see the art project.  They went to Bunny's home and when the...
