I felt way better today than yesterday, and I’m pretty sure it really helped to have Jerilee out visiting. The last time I saw her was on Canada Day, and that was just to watch our kids while Brady and I went out on a date, so we didn’t even hang out! This was a much needed day, and I was just too distracted to be sick!
We caught up on everything, and Dekker convinced his aunty to play ball with him a couple of times. He was sad to go for nap time, yet he wasn’t upset when Laela wailed her face off and slept for less than twenty minutes. I gave up and went in to get her. She was all cuddled up, laying on her side, chewing a blanket, but bawling. Her morning nap was shorter than usual too. She was sooo tired, but crying consistently. So I fed her and she drank her milk, but it didn’t comfort her for long. We tried to nap her while we ate supper, and it lasted maybe ten minutes. She was so sad for most of the day, and I’m not sure why. I’m thinking teeth, but I don’t see any white or bumps, so who knows.
Laela did finally join us at the supper table and had her first mashed potato experience. And she loved it!! I know people say not to start with fruit, but I did with both. Dekker eats great, and Laela loves potatoes and broccoli and all kinds of things. I’m really not worried.
After supper was a bit whiny too, but we stayed upstairs and played music and the kids perked up a bit, but it was definitely an early bedtime kind of day. Laela will be down in a few minutes when she’s done drinking, and Deks is already tucked away. Hopefully there are no tearful outbursts in the next half hour, or through the night. I think we all need a full nights sleep!
sleep in heavenly peace… all of you!
