Laura woke me up this morning at 7:15 am. This is very rare. She normally sleeps until 8:30 or 9:00. Daley usually gets up around 7:30 and plays in her room. So when Laura woke up early and Daley was still asleep I suspected something might be wrong. Laura and I went into Daley's room around 8:00 and found her just waking up. I kissed her head and whispered "good morning" and she was burning up. So Daley has been running a fever and has had a little cough. Laura has been stuffy and I'm sure will catch whatever Daley has. The thing is that it was really nice hanging out in bed with my two sick little girls. Normally on a Tuesday we'd take Daley to school then Laura and I would head to the grocery store and dry cleaners. Then we'd rush home to get her down for a nap so that she'll be awake in time to pick up Daley. While Laura was napping I would do laundry, make tea, make dinner for tonight, and take a shower.
Instead of all that, we all three spent the day in our pajamas and spent a lot of time snuggling and resting. When Laura took a nap Daley and I snuggled some more while we watched The Pacifier.
Daley certainly felt worse than Laura and early in the day Laura was trying to play with her. I explained to Laura that Daley was sick and didn't feel well. After that Laura spent 30 minutes rubbing Daley's head, kissing her cheek, and holding her hand. It was one of the sweetest things I've ever seen.Tomorrow may be a bad one if both kids are really sick and whatever they have has fully erupted. Today, however was wonderful!
