How to describe this week? Brooke started with a cold at daycare last Friday, then Kylie woke up with a nasty cough Monday night. After listening to her "bark like a seal" (to quote Mommy's friend Kim), Mom & Dad called the nurse helpline -- and decided she must have croup. A 1 AM "steam bath" in Mom & Dad's bathtub with "Brooke's fish" spinning in the big tub - followed by sitting next to the window wearing Mommy's sweatshirt and blankets, and Kylie was asleep. The next night, everyone had a steam bath in the big tub... Neela LOVED swimming in the tub, sliding down the walls, and the bubbles. Daddy helped Brooke sit in the tub for a while, and Mommy gave Kylie another dose of the great outdoors...
Kylie slept 4 hours at daycare Wednesday, and started to come around Wednesday night... then it was Neela's turn to get the cough... Of course, Neela couldn't be outdone! Neela decided to climb on a chair in the toyroom while Daddy changed Brooke on Friday afternoon. Mommy came home, and was redirected to urgent care with a bleeding Neela... and our first "stitches" happened! The stitches are actually glue (similar to what Mommy had after her C-section), and Neela just doesn't want to keep her hands off it!!! In the midst of this, Daddy had to go to bowling... so Dominique came to the rescue! She played with Brooke and Kylie so they didn't have to go with to urgent care... thank you!!
Some time today, Brooke decided to show off her ability to roll back-to-front AND front-to-back. While Mommy isn't sure when she did it the first time, she did manage to pull it off while Mommy was picking up toys tonight -- and she was SOOO happy!
Finally, Papa came home last night from Honduras. He brought the big girls blue T-shirts from Honduras, and Brooke got a green t-shirt that says how much Papa loves her (and bought her something in Honduras!). Kylie & Neela got to go to McDonald's for breakfast with Papa - and this explains why Neela was at home today - instead of at daycare - when she cracked her lip open!
Here's hoping for a VERY QUIET weekend!
