Valentine's day sickies

No I'm not one of those cool people that hates on Valentine's day.... I mean we were actually sick on Valentine's day. It all started on Friday when we went to a drop in play time at the Little Gym. Although I have no direct proof it started there, I am convinced the germs came from there so just go with me on this. There was a kid there that was coughing all over the place. And I feel like I know the difference now between a kid who is pretty much over a cold but has a lingering cough or lingering runny nose. This kid was straight sick. And I literally saw him cough in my kids face. Gross.... of course I ran over and removed my kid from his space but I think the damage was already done. Seriously though.... this isn't something so cool that your sick kid can't stay home.
Anyhoo... here are some pictures from that day.... in case you were wondering sick kid isn't in any of these pictures to protect the identity of sick kid and his mom. :)

Then I started to get sick Saturday night. I started pumping the Emergen-C but it was too late... sick kid's sickness had made it's way and there was no stopping it. Luckily all the vitamin C was keeping it from getting unbearable..... until Farrah woke up Sunday night hacking in the middle of the night. It's that moment when you're asleep and you wake up to the sound of coughing in the baby monitor and the first thing you think is "NOOOOOOOOOOOO..... please don't be sick!" Sure enough.... so we brought her in bed with us and she spent the rest of the night tossing and turning. Monday was a mommy/Farrah day and so I tried to do fun things inside with her. The weather was bad anyways so it was fine. I tried to get her to watch a movie with me. The only movie she's ever really watched is Bambi. So I thought The Little Mermaid might get her attention. It did for about 5 minutes and then she got up and started wandering around. I was all kinds of excited for her first Little Mermaid experience so I got out the camera thinking she was going to be as enchanted as I was as a little girl by a pretty, singing mermaid, but alas, 2 pictures in and it was over.

So onto art we went. She loves her some art. The hard part is, her idea of art is demanding I draw flowers for her. Smart kid, outsourcing.... I like it. I asked her if she wanted to do crafts and she said, "Yes. Do crap!" ::Giggles::

So the day was going by and I was running out of low key, sick day, indoors ideas. Luckily for me, I have a girly girl. She loves to watch me do my make up. She watches me wash my face and will copy me. So I thought I would bust out the pale pink nail polish and paint her nails for the first time. GENIOUS! She loved it! She even listened to me when I said to sit still and don't touch anything so she didn't ruin it. She sat so still. Love this kid!

So pretty!

"Mama too!" So I did mine too :)

The worst came Monday night where she "slept" with us all night and between the 3 of us we got a collective 2 hours of sleep. No bueno. I do have to say, we have been incredibly blessed with very few sick episodes like this. Colds here and there, but not much that would keep the kid up at night. I will thank my lucky stars for that.

Just hoping this little lady feels better soon. She's a trooper. A trooper with cute nails.
