Last night felt like another all nighter for this mamma. Hyrum was sick yesterday, slept all afternoon, went to bed without a peep and whined every half hour all night. He was crazy hot and his fever finally broke sometime between 3 and 5 in the AM. I spent half the night scrunched next to the poor little dude in his toddler bed, listening to his shallow breaths. I spent the other half of the night dozing in the big green chair nursing Joe and maybe half an hour in my bed.
Joe snuggled between Daddy and I in the early morning kicking, flailing and screeching in delight. His smiles helped me wake up happy and I loved holding him in the air above me listening to him giggle while I lay in bed. Hyrum soon joined us. He proceeded to name the colors he spotted on my bed. "What's that Mommy?...Red" He nailed every color, no doubt he's learning from his sister. When Daddy pointed to something white and asked Hyrum what color it was he said, "snow". We both got a chuckle out of it. Camilla wasn't far behind and asked if I could make her breakfast because she was so hungry from her long sleep.
Despite being tired I braved the Medicentre with all three children where we waited two hours to see the doc, and got some X-rays done of Hyrum's chest. Thankfully all is well and I was told to wait it out and make sure it didn't get worse. The kids drew on old receipts, played doctor and counted all fingers and toes to pass the time. They were gems.
I spent the afternoon enjoying one on one time with Camilla, doing laundry and finishing up yesterday's dishes. I always feel like I do things backwards. I still don't know why I insist on doing dishes before dinner. I can't wait to have a dishwasher. It was near the top on the list of Must Have's in our new home. I also must have about a million kisses from this little boy each day.
