sickness and cranky kids

Monday, February 2, 2009

What a weekend! Aunt Claire came over to visit on Friday and we all had fun, she's a popular visitor over here. On Saturday we had some more popular visitors, Uncle Bill and Aunt Niki and come dinner time I knew Piper was overly tired from all the fun but then I felt her forehead and she was burning up. She had a high fever all Saturday night and all day Sunday with only a slight cough. Well this morning I thought the fever had broken but she got a glass of milk and about an hour later "spit" it up. She calls throwing up "spitting up". Well after her morning fun she started feeling better and even ate some bannana for lunch and two bites of toast. A good nap was had and now she's a whiny mess this afternoon and her fever seems to be back.

Reagan on the other hands seems to be feeling great and is even a bit bored without Piper torturing, I mean playing with her. That means Mommy is even more in demand than usual as Piper seems to have forgotten how to walk, how to put a blanket on herself, how to turn on the tv, how to find her water glass and just about anything else. Reagan on the other hand can not seem to keep herself busy without Mommy for more than 5 minutes.

If I ever get some time and concentration I'll post some more pictures. I have some cute ones of Piper and her friends from a playdate a few weeks ago.

actually surprisingly well I cleaned her up and then ate a bowl of cereal. I was surprised at myself. Of course it helped that she only had a glass of milk in her stomach and most of it landed on her and a little spot on the sheet so I didn't have to look at it, just toss everything in the wash. The dog stuff grossed me out more.
