Virus: Part II

This time it struck Collin. He appears to have the exact thing Brantlee had a couple weeks ago, high fevers and a tummy ache. But I figured he would’ve already had it by now. Collin’s symptoms started late Monday, and so far he has been a pretty good patient and has been in good spirits. He’ll say, “It’s okay Mama. I just feel a little bit bad.” Or, “My tummy feels sad.” Better yet, he'll say "Uh-oh, my fever's going up again." And sure enough I'll ckeck him, and he'll be burning up! It’s so hard to see your child sick :( Plus, he will have to miss his VERY FIRST tee-ball practice this afternoon! Bummer!!

Also, since school has been out, Brantlee has started back the trend of waking up at the crack of dawn, literally. This morning she woke up at 4:30. No, that wasn’t a typo. Of course, her leg was stuck in the crib rail, and I would’ve certainly raised heck about that myself, but still. She used to sleep until 7:30 or 7:45, unassisted and in her bed. Now, not nearly that late. ( I am convinced she wakes up so she can catch the earliest episode of Mickey Mouse Club House, which she calls “Mic Mouse.” )

I didn’t intend for this to be a whiney post, and I really don’t mean to complain. Brantlee has overall been a very good sleeper in my book. And if the truth be known, I really feel like it is time to transition her to a “big girl” bed. Sigh. Change is hard. And scary. I can just envision Miss Priss in the bathroom unrolling an entire roll of toilet paper at 3 a.m. –HA!

Here are some pictures from this past week. We are on the countdown for the beach. We leave one week from Sunday!! YAY! I cannot wait to get some sandcastle and pool pictures. These below will have to do for now.

And take naps in toy boxes- haha
