After going to bed with a 102.7 fever, Zoe was up coughing all night long and was absolutely miserable this morning. Derek didn't work last night and went to the space until late, but thankfully he was off and able to take the baby monitor at 4am so I could sleep until 8:00. When I got up this morning, Zoe was curled up in his arms in the rocking chair. She snuggled with me most of the morning while Silas bopped around the house. We were supposed to have The Brennan's over for brunch this morning and even though we had to cancel Derek was still in the mood to cook. He made scrambled eggs with sauteed peppers, garlic scapes, onions, and bacon. Silas wanted to help, so we pushed the kitchen chair up to the counter.
Even in sickness Zoe wanted in on all the fun too!
My mom always talks about the dreaded sounded of the chair being pushed up to the counter, and hearing me say, "me help, me help". We're definitely approaching this stage of our lives as well :)
The weather was gorgeous and we ate with the kids out on the deck. Derek and I enjoyed prosecco-mimosas while the kids went to town with the water table after lunch. Derek ended up calling in sick tonight so that he could stay up to help me with everything when S&Z got up from their nap. What a trooper - he made it until 4:30pm before he crashed and burned. I also called in sick tomorrow because Zoe needs to go to the doctor. Her eyes and nose are dripping and she has a hacking cough. The fever continues (although thankfully not as high as last night - that was scary!) and we think she may have a sinus infection. Of course it's just a matter of time before Silas gets sick too.
Not being sick yet, Silas was super squirrel-y after dinner tonight. I decided to walk them down to the village to get some ice cream. We sat in the square where they ran around and I ate a cup of grasshopper pie ice cream, which they wanted nothing to do with.
After half-hour or so, Zoe crawled into the stroller to say she was ready to go home :) We'll see what the doctor says tomorrow...
