I've been hearing it creep up on the girls. A little sniffle, a little cough and now it's gone full blown. An end of summer cold. N's been a little sluggish and runny eyed the last few days but now she's congested and tired. So far, she's doing pretty good with it. K, poor little gal, has it a little worse. She's far more congested and of course, that's frustrating for her. Hard to drink her bottle when she can't breathe thru her nose. And to make it worse, when she lays down, she's uncomfortable from the congestion.
Fast forward to this morning, they're both a little crabby and stuffy. After breakfast, that they barely touched, I plunked them into a warm bath and let them play. Warm bath, lots of soapy bubbles, warm pj's from the dryer and warm towels to wrap up in. I think that hit the spot with both of them. It's a stay home in pajama day for sure.
K was ready for nap before I could get her in pj's. Thankfully the humidifier and a pillow to sleep on is helping her sleep. N is camping on the sofa and having a movie day. Oatmeal, cambric tea, soup and bread for the good heal your soul food. You'd think it was 30 degrees and the middle of winter but not so. It's around 85 right now. Oh well. A nice lazy day will do us all good.
My new job starts tomorrow and tying up those last few loose ends is a good way for me to spend the day. Between tea parties, blanket forts and coloring, it'll all get done.
Wish me luck on the new job, quick healing for the girls and no cold for me.
