Nicole woke up last night and was crying. She said her head hurt. Poor little thing. So I brought her to our bed and gave her Tylenol. We had fun in my bed, just telling stories and talking. I finally gave in to the fact she was not going back to sleep. So I grabbed my reading light and we went back to her room where I read her some books. It was fun being up with my baby but I am tired. She did say last night, how about Nicole and mommy spend some time together, so sweet. So I was exhausted this morning and so was Nik. Nicole stayed in our bed until about 9:00. I decided I better cancel our play group. She was in a good mood just tired. I played with Justin was she rested which was nice. He is so talky without Nicole. I finally decided to give the kids a bath and get that out of the way. They were overdue for a bath anyway. They were so happy to get in the tub. I think I have figured out she has a sore throat. After bath she hadn’t eaten anything so I made her a smoothie. She drank it up and is now fast asleep. She took a pretty long nap. Justin and I got to play together and that was really nice. We also cleaned the garage together. He was such a big help sweeping up. So nice to have the garage under control again, hopefully it will stay this way for a while. Nicole took a long nap and was seemingly better-she did have a little fever, so I did give her some Tylenol. I gave her some soup and then let the kiddos watch TV for a bit. After it was just all about play. I tried to paint for a bit but kept on hearing mommy, mommy every second. So I took them out in the backyard and we played. I did a little gardening and I let Justin play with the hose for a while. After dinner Nicole wanted some alone time with me, so we played My Little Pony and the ponies and friends had a birthday party for Pooh. Nicole loves that Pooh stuffed animal, she says it is her favorite animal. Justin and daddy played outside. They were playing frisbee so we went out to join them. We played catch and basketball too. When we got upstairs we read lots of books. Justin was really tired. When he asked if he could play with money and we said no since it was time to go to bed, he just melted. Hopefully everyone will sleep tonight, I am really tired.
