Last night was Monday, so the girls & I flew solo again since Daddy was golfing. 'Why does Daddy always have to golf with his friends from church?' is what I hear each week from Ella. 'Because it's good for Daddy' is my response. Although last night, it was harder to say that as Ella had a 101 degree fever and Lexi hadn't eaten all day at daycare (refusing 3 bottles a number of times). But everyone survivied - including Mom.
Lexi did eat about 6 oz for me, which was an improvement over her time at daycare. Ella was content watching the Summer X Games on ESPN (skateboarding and motorcycle racing). Both girls were in bed by 8:00, which gave me some time to get some things I needed done.
Both of them were relatively happy, even though they were sick. Lexi was sitting in her Bumbo chair on the island and Ella was working on her iron-beads. Lexi and her were talking back and forth - sooo fun! Even though Lex can't make words (officially), she can still talk with the rest of us. Both slept through the night, although Ella's dreams are getting much more vivid as now she's screaming throughout the night.
Oh what I wouldn't give for a full night's rest without interruption, but then I remember that I'm a parent and I'm not sure that's even possible anymore.
