Feeling better

Well, somebody seems to be feeling better...

Finally after 6 days of running a fever, Charlotte is finally appearing to feel better.  Now begins the process of reminding her that unless we're sick, we really don't actually watch TV all day every day in this house.  But if its too bright, sunglasses are ok I guess.  haha!

We're still getting snow here.  Although, not as much as this past month, but still... we're ready for Spring!  We've been rearranging a lot of the rooms in the house and starting some Spring cleaning already.  Just so anxious to get out of the house and enjoy the outdoors.  Charlotte saw it snowing yesterday and said "Snowy gen, Mommy!"  Yes, my daughter, it is snowing AGAIN...  She wanted to share the moment with her Little People apparently too.  The pictures are a little dark, but I just had to share.  Here she is telling her Little People that its "snowy outside people." 

Still sick

Well, it seems that I was horribly mistaken that Charlotte's temperature last week was due to her tooth coming in.  We are now on day FIVE of her having a fever of at least 100*.  Not that anyone likes to be sick, but this is absolutely miserable for her (and us consequently.)  It's probably the worst head/sinus cold I've ever seen.  Mostly just a very runny nose, but I've never heard of a temperature for that many days.  She is screaming, usually "tissue!" about every 30 seconds, not eating or sleeping much at all, and very intolerant of any attention given to brother or anything other than her.  Let me say that again... DAY FIVE.  This is rough!  And to top it off, Beckett got the fever last night.  Here we go again!  At least he's a less dramatic sick child, just needs to be snuggled a lot, still not sleeping or eating well though.  Hopefully they will both be over this soon and Mommy & Daddy don't get it too.  Well, my "break" is over... need to get back to the sick kiddos who are now awake. 

Sitting up

Guess who's figured how to sit up by himself now?!

Sick day

Poor Charlotte woke up today with a temp of 100*.  She was also complaining that her "mouth hurt."  She has her last baby tooth coming in, so I'm guessing that's at least part of the problem.  She's not really eating much either and is pretty lethargic too, though, so it may be a little bug.  Regardless, we're having a lazy day around here til she feels better.  Nothing a little Tylenol, Orajel and cartoons can't fix.

Apparently, there's also nothing better than your "friends" to help you feel better when you're sick...

Beckett on the other hand, seems to be feeling great today... especially after his record-breaking 2 1/2 hour nap this morning!  When Charlotte was his age, hers were only about 45 minutes.  Two very different children for sure!

Daddy's little monkey

Charlotte is totally a Daddy's girl!  I don't think he minds at all.

Mealtime with Beckett

For how much this guy likes to eat, you think he'd make it easier on Mom to feed him...

"Once a time..."

Charlotte sat down with a blank notebook in her lap this morning.  And then she proceeded to read Mommy her story...

"Storytime Mommy."
"Once a time. Little girl. Name Charlotte." 
"Kids. Teddy. Blocks. Kids...."
"De in."

Could she be any cuter?!  Love my little storyteller!
