Sick Day

Mom called me at work Wednesday around noon and said Tuff was running a low grade fever. I thought "wonderful." Nothing like a sick baby a few days before Christmas. I told her to keep an eye on him and let me know if he got worse. She called back around 4 when he woke up from his nap and said he was fever free. I knew we probably weren't in the clear though. I picked him up after work and we headed home. He was fever free all night and acted fine before bed. While I was up feeding Gunner at 230 yesterday morning Tuff comes trotting in. Burning up. I gave him some tylenol and got him back to sleep. He woke up around 7 burning up again. I figured it'd be best to go ahead and keep him home for the day. He didnt really do much that involved moving from the chair or couch all day. Poor bud. I really know he isnt feeling good when he doesn't get up and move around all day. I don't really know any 2 year olds that sit that still ever unless their sick. I hate seeing my babies sick. But I have to admit, I do love the extra snuggle time. He didn't sleep too well last night and he still wasn't back to his normal self this morning so I'm not sure what's up. I really think its something viral since he hasn't had any other sypmtoms. Let's hope so since it's the day before Christmas Eve. Anyways, we watched a lot of cartoons yesterday and Aunt Amanda brought by cookies.
Nothing a cookie and some E.E. (Curious George) can't cure.


I am at work today but they are planning on letting everyone leave early. Since everything is a secret around here, I'm not sure what time yet. The rumor is no later than 3 but we're all hoping they break down and let us go a little earlier. We'll see I guess. Jordan and I plan on getting all of the boys Christmas shopping finshed/done this afternoon. I'm not really looking foward to the last minute crowds but I'm praying it won't be too terribly bad. HA! We'll see.

Gunner Bear is still sleeping 8 hours after his night time bottle every night before he wakes for another bottle. This is a HUGE relief in our house. Praying it stays this way! Now if we could just get him to hold off until later to eat his night time bottle we'd be set. The child can't seem to stay awake past 7-7:30. He wants to be laid down so I don't know what to do to fix that. If he could eat at 8:30 and sleep until 4:30 for another bottle, this would be one HAPPY and rested mommy! :) Maybe Santa will bring me a sleeping baby for Christmas! Ha Ha Ha. Or should I say Ho Ho Ho.

Well I'm sure you won't be hearing from me until after Christmas so
