Sick Day

Grace and I both stayed home from school today. I had to pick her up early from "school" yesterday because she was running a fever of 102. I took her to the doctor and they said it was just a virus, so nothing we can do. She was pretty pathetic yesterday and wanted to be held most of the day. Luckily she slept through the night and woke up without a fever today. I stayed home from work today because I have tonsillitis (two trips to the doctor yesterday was not fun). Poor Brooks was at work all day, but feeling better from his bad cold that he's been fighting all week.

Grace is feeling much better today. She is still a little whiny and for some reason has been fighting a nap...she slept for a total of 30 minutes all day! I even got desperate and drove her around in the car, but her little eyes popped open as soon as I brought her seat inside. Oh well!

So pathetic with her silkie.

One thing I discovered is that Grace likes to watch TV when she is sick. She watched her Baby Einstein video about 4 times (I'm already sick of it and need to get some more.) We also watched Noggin and Nick Jr., which she didn't like as much, but was still entertained. She is so cute because she claps, points and gets really excited when she sees something interesting. I know TV is probably not the best thing for her, but hey whatever makes her happy when she's sick.

Here she is pointing to all the dogs in the video.

When a song came on, she would clap a little and rock back and
forth some (which I think was her version of dancing).
