Justin woke up feeling a 100% better, thank goodness. He was as good as new which I figured that would happen. I would rather have this situation then him still sick in San Diego. Nicole was so nice to Justin when he was sick, wanting to rub his back, etc. This morning the kids took all the cushions off the couch and played on them. They did bubbles outside together and painted with water outside. We just took it easy today. I wanted to make sure Nicole didn’t catch it and keep the kids away from their friends for a few days. The kids liked spreading out their towels and laying on them. I played some games with the kiddos, Candyland, etc. I thought by playing with the kids for a bit then they would play on their own. Nope, I built tracks, played mommy with Nicole’s dogs, etc. Justin started to not feel well again. His fever came back but not too high. I let the kiddos watch TV and rest for a bit. All of a sudden Nicole says since Justin doesn’t feel good, he can pick the TV show. I am so amazed how sweet she is. Her thinking of others impresses me so much; I am so proud of her. Justin picked Little Einsteins. Justin felt better and wanted to eat lunch. We just played all afternoon. I took out whatever toys they hadn’t played with in a while, Crystal Climbers, ariel dolls, light sabers, I became a play structure…..Dad came home early as he had to go to the dentist. Just as he came home the kids wanted to go in the pool. They wanted to bring Ariel and barbie dolls in the pool. Justin was the first to get Ariel naked. We did the squirty tools and just had fun playing with the water. Nicole really wanted to watch Mickey Mouse Club House, so they watched one. Finally after playing with the water, the kiddos got dressed. They were in their jammies most of the day. After TV Justin started to feel yucky again, poor guy. Dad wanted to take Nicole for a walk so Justin could rest but he wanted to go too. I gave him some Tylenol and I was hoping he would fall asleep in the stroller. He lasted until bunny path then wanted to come home. I came home with him while dad and Nicole still played. Justin said he was hungry so I gave him a snack then we watched Curious George together. After dinner the kids went right upstairs and we read a lot of books. Justin was so excited to wear his new jammies; they are so cute on him. He finally fell asleep-I think I did too for a bit. Dad and Nicole were watching Utube videos of space shuttles blasting off and dogs swimming. Nicole really liked the dog one and acted it out too. She put her toys on me then pretended to be a dog and jumped in to get them. The funniest part was when she decided she needed to wear goggles. She pretended to be a dog for the rest of the night. She was doing tricks and gettting bones. What a cutie pie she is. We read some books and then we headed upstairs. I rocked her a bit and hung out with her. She was so great and not jealous about Justin getting my attention today. She doesn’t want to go to school without Justin and I am not going to make her just yet. So tomorrow we will have another day at home.
