Today I have tried thinking of ideas what to do with Allison. Lately we have been stuck in the house because she had the stomach flue one week and this last weekend we had another scare. Allison woke up at 5am on Saturday with a fever of 103.8 in the ear. We called the Dr she had croup. This can be a very serious illness I am told. I have heard of some children being in the hospital. Croup is a barking cough and the kids also have trouble breathing. Kyle and I were very worried. We put her into bed with us then took her to the Dr the next morning. She is doing much better. We are glad we caught it in time. With all the sickness I have run out of ideas what to do with Allison. She does not play by herself so mom tries to entertain her a lot. Today we wanted to get out but many of our other friends were sick or busy. I was a little worried it was going to be a long day today. I am looking forward to a short week and Dad being home.
What did I end up doing with my little one? I brought out paint and let her paint for awhile. It lasted about 5 minutes. Then she played in the sink and that was fun for her but mom had to clean up a lot of water. Then she had me stand in the middle of the kitchen while she ran around me. I asked if I could sit down but she said, "no." I stood there for a long time until i set the timer and said, "OK, when the timer goes off we are done." It was fun watching her run around me though. I finally got my little one off for a nap. I am so ready to do nothing today. The weather is gloomy so I always feel a little lazy. I got all my laundry and cleaning done this weekend so it will be nice to watch a little TV w/out interruption.
