Nathan came home today from preschool just fine. Then he ate lunch, took a nap and then woke up with a 101 degree fever. UGH! Between trying to get him to calm down so that he wouldn’t wake Will from his nearly 3 hour nap and me trying to spruce up the place, I have to tell you I was at the edge. On the brink. I finally managed to get N8 to take his dose of Motrin to bring his fever down by threatening him. He was making a bid deal about not wanting to take medicine. Bubble gum flavored medicine, people! We adults should BE so lucky as to have such luxuries, right? So anyway I kindly stated that either he down the pink stuff or we could tote right off to Dr. Tyson’s office and he could have it in shot format in his upper thigh. I’ve never seen him drink medicine so fast! Guess now we know what works!

So here we are now watching episode after episode of Curious George (thank goodness I’ve been DVRing every episode) and drinking apple juice. I am sure aside from the pink stuff, being sick – at least for Nathan – is somewhat of a treat. Will has been a little trooper just quitely playing sitting next to his sick big brother. We’ll see how long this crazy mama can hold up!
