Kids have been taking turns getting sick this week. I stayed home on Tuesday with Shane because he had a high fever. We went to school to drop off Chloe then Shane and I came back home, which made him super happy. He was in a such good mood that I hardly noticed him while cooking. He went upstairs by himself and I found him playing quietly in his train table and looking at books. Then we enjoyed drawing together and watching a Thomas train movie. I thought, wow, heaven, so quiet and peaceful with just one child….
Then he took his nap and he woke up with a very cranky mood. From 1 pm on, I had to hold him. He can be so difficult sometimes… I dare say… even more difficult than Chloe. He cries for vitamins, then candy after candy and cries when I give him timeout then cries if I don’t hold him. I was exhausted. By 4pm, I wished Chloe was here to help. Chloe likes the idea of helping me so she tries to be a good sister. That may not last more than 10 min. but you gotta love her for trying.
So we picked up Chloe at 4pm and it was a disaster. Now I had two cranky kids. Chloe was beginning to catch a cold.
