The Yuckies

That's what we've had around here. And it was quite yucky. Sophie came down with the bug on Wednesday and was pretty puny there for a while, with a high fever and the throw ups.



We woke up on Friday morning to Sophie doing much better but Jack burning up. I made a bed in the living room and he pretty much napped or watched TV all day, in between stories and lots of fluids. He got progressively worse throughout the day, poor guy!

Morning: still pretty alert and enjoying cartoons
Afternoon: didn't want to sit up at all and wouldn't eat
Evening: fell asleep watching the evening news (!) and was in bed by 7 pm
I must admit, it was a very peaceful and QUIET day around here. He didn't have the energy or inclination to argue with me or put up a fight about anything! Andre and I looked at each other in wonder after bedtime only took us all of five minutes, instead of the usual 30-40 minute routine!

Today both kiddos are recovering well, although both of them are not quite back to their usual selves. However, we did venture outside for a brief walk this afternoon and all enjoyed the beautiful Fall air. Now to finish organizing this house so I can deep clean and disinfect it!
