Still Sick...
Posted by Ida , Tuesday, July 20, 2010
More of the same today. Madelyn still had a low-grade fever - moved onto Ibuprofen instead of acetaminophen - it works better. William didn't wear a pull-up to bed again in hopes that he would repeat yesterday's nap and night with no accidents, but it didn't work out that way. William pooped in the toilet again and had one pee accident. Mommy is pushing it thinking that he will tell her when he has to go. He isn't there yet, so she has to make sure he uses the potty when he is showing signs of having to go.
William and Madelyn played outside for awhile this morning. William mowed and trimmed the backyard. He used his bat for the trimmer. It was so cute. He walked around the whole yard and did it just like Daddy does. Madelyn watched his every move. She sure loves her brother!
Madelyn was playing with the kitchen when Mimi stopped by for a quick hello.
Madelyn only napped for half an hour this morning. Ah, hem...William. This (and still being sick) threw off Madelyn's entire sleeping schedule for the day. Madelyn started her afternoon nap before lunch and as Mommy was reading to William before nap time Madelyn woke up.
Madelyn had a couple of sensory experiences today - petting Duke and playing in the grass. She isn't phased much be these textures. In fact, she would love to learn more about them by putting them in her mouth. Mommy stopped her though, don't worry.
Fiamma for dinner courtesy of Jessica and Chris. It was one of the best dinners ever! Mommy and Daddy had a bottle of Willamette Valley Pinot Noir, fried calamari appetizer, filet mingon - medium rare, Daddy's with goat cheese and Mommy's with spinach, garlic and cheese, two sides - garlic mashed potatoes and creamed corn, AND a ginormous slice of 6 layer carrot cake. The carrot cake is in the refrigerator! It was so delicious! Would love to go again on our next date night...2011...it has to be saved up for!
In the first picture of Madelyn with Duke, I see so much of William in her! Ida, your kids are so darn cute! Love the mowing and weed wacking! I hope everyone is feeling better soon, and I hope we didn't give it to you.
