I feel weird today. My tummy doesn't feel right, and sometimes I'm hot, then other times I'm cold. My body feels tired, and I don't want to play with my toys. Hugging my teddy close, I lie down on the couch, feeling small and sad.

"Mama..." I call out softly. My voice sounds funny, and I feel thirsty. Mama comes right away, sitting next to me. "What's wrong, baby girl?" she asks, stroking my hair gently. I hold my teddy tighter and say, "Tummy feels funny, Mama... and I'm hot and cold."

Mama frowns a little but gives me a soft smile. "Oh, sweetie, you're not feeling good," she says. She picks me up, and I rest my head on her shoulder. She's warm and makes me feel a little better. "Let's get you some water," Mama says, grabbing my baba. She sits back down with me, holding the bottle for me to drink. The water is cool, and it helps my throat.

After I finish, Mama cuddles me close, rubbing my back softly. "Shh, Mama's here. You'll feel better soon," she whispers. I close my eyes, feeling safe in her arms. My body still feels weird, but with Mama's cuddles, it doesn't feel so bad anymore.

As I snuggle into Mama's arms, the room feels quiet and soft. She rocks me gently, humming a little song. I like the sound of her voice, and it makes my eyes feel heavy. Even though my tummy still feels a bit funny, having Mama close helps. My body is warm against hers, and her hand rubs my back slowly, making me feel safe.

"Mama..." I whisper, my voice sounding sleepy. "I don't like feeling yucky."

"I know, baby," she says, kissing the top of my head. "But Mama's here, and we'll take care of you. You just need lots of rest and cuddles." She pulls my blanket around me, tucking me in snug. "You'll feel better soon, I promise."

I nod, holding onto my teddy and sucking on my baba again. The water feels nice, but what feels even better is being in Mama's arms. My eyes close more and more, and soon I feel like I'm floating between sleep and being awake.

"Rest now, sweet girl," Mama whispers, still rocking me gently. I sigh, feeling safe, and let the warmth of her hugs help me drift off to sleep. Even though I feel yucky, Mama makes everything better.
