Ok this household has been very sickly with fevers and strep throat and allergic reactions and we have literally done NOTHING this past week. Now it is Monday and we are at the tail end of it.... still sick, but able to move about and have some sort of normal routine. Oh, and Nolan has finally decided that he likes eating solids. Sweet potatoes!
Two unrelated things:
1) When you see that another toddler has mastered a certain skill that your kid has not (or even thought about yet) what is your reaction? Usually in my case I just kind of think, "Oh right, I should get on that". A while ago someone with a kid the same age as Maya was talking about their kid drinking out of a real cup, rather than a sippy cup (and he had been doing it for quite a while) and I was like, "Crap, it hasn't even occurred to me to give Maya a try on the regular cup". It's not like I feel bad about it in a competition kind of way, just more of a "why didn't I think of that" kind of way. Know what I mean?
2) Do you ever just pack your kids up in the car and go for a drive for no reason? Every once in a while I will do this with the kids on those days when we have been cooped up for too long and I just need them to both be locked down into one spot for a while. This came in handy around Christmas time because we could drive around and look at Christmas lights. Today was one of those days where we had not gone anywhere for two days and I had to get out. I didn't want to actually run any errands or go visiting or anything since we were still sick, I just wanted to get out and pass the time before dinner. Please tell me I'm not the only one that does this.
I hope you had a more exciting start to the week than we have!
