My 2yo has been sick this week. High fever and croup. Yuck. She hasn’t been sleeping well at night, and keeps crawling in bed with us. The other night I was just so tired and after putting her back to bed two or three times, I just gave up. The little furnace stayed in our bed. She kept me warm and talked all night long. She told me stories, wrapped herself around me and talked and talked and talked. Srsly ALL NIGHT LONG!!
She did say some random things though. I don’t know if it was because she was overtired, or if it was the fever talking.
Some examples of her randomness:
“My spy with mine eye something, mmm, pink.” – 2yo
“It’s dark, I can’t see anything pink. Is it your underwear?” – me
“Yep.” – 2yo
“Take mine shoes off. Take mine shoes off now.” – 2yo
“Baby, you aren’t wearing shoes.” – me
“NO, that’s Dahson’s.” – 2yo
{she leans over the side of the bed and starts whisper yelling for her sister}
“DAHSON. DAHSON.” – 2yo
“Dahson is in bed sleeping, like you should be.” – me
At least I was entertained while I was NOT getting any sleep!!
She is still running a low grade fever and her cough is a wet cough, not croupy. Hopefully she will get better soon!
Poor girl(s)! I hope she is on the road to recovery. It’s never fun taking care of a sick child…the worry, the clinging, the lack of sleep…but the conversations are ones to remember, that’s for sure!
