I hate hearing the cell ring and then seeing the ID read "La Petite." It's never a good thing. Not once have they called to say something like "Ellie took a great nap today" or "Maggie made a happy plate at lunch today." No it's always something like, "Maggie banged her head on slide" or Ellie woke up from nap with a 102 fever." As was the case yesterday. I was five minutes from picking up the kids to take them on a impromptu trip to the zoo, when the cell rings and I learn that Ellie has a fever. Can we say bummer?
I know it's bad when Ellie says, "I want to go lay in my bed." I get them loaded in the car and Ellie informs me that she needs to burp (aka puke). I run inside to get a handy dandy bag---which we do end up using on the car ride home. Poor thing!
It amazing how fast kids rebound though---I gave her Motrin and in an hour's time she was playing babies with Maggie. Nuts huh? We even Georgia on a evening walk--where Ellie balanced on the curbs while Maggie jumped over every sidewalk seam and crack.
Seeing Ellie rebound that fast--makes me envious but also makes me hate the "24 hour fever free" rule at daycare. Guess we will be enjoying a day at home tomorrow....just the two of us!
