Hold You

    I have heard those two words more than 100 times today. That's what Connor says when he wants for us to pick him up and hold him. He is doing better now, but we had a rough night last night. I started feeling like I was coming down with a cold and had a hard time falling asleep. I took some meds and brought Connor into bed with me at about midnight. After that, I don't think I slept more then a couple hours. At one point he had a temperature of 102.8, so I gave him some Tylenol and rubbed some peppermint oil on his forehead, temples, back of his neck and feet. A friend of mine who has knows a lot about essential oils has used it on her little ones when they are sick, and it has helped them, so I tried it.

 Taking Tylenol in the middle of the night. His sad face and bright pink cheeks make me sad :(

I think it worked because he woke up with a low grade fever and his bright pink cheeks were gone. I could tell he was feeling much better, even though he was still congested.

 A little lazy from lack of sleep.

  We wish daddy was here to take care of us!

Dancing to the music on Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.    

    We made a quick trip to the grocery store so I could buy him Ibuprofen and ingredients to make chicken noodle soup for lunch. I got right to cooking when I got home!

 It was really good!

     We both took a much needed nap after lunch. When we woke up, Connor started feeling a little warm again so I gave him Ibuprofen and lit the diffuser. It helped both of us breathe easier.

 We played a upstairs in his room and then ate leftovers for dinner. Afterwards we had dance party and played with his megablocks.

 Playing a game on my ipad while sitting in his pop up tent.

 That smile makes me happy!

      Before it was time for bed, we watched a little bit of a movie while we cuddled up on the couch. Fingers crossed we both get a better night sleep tonight and feel better tomorrow!
