Of sick and well kids
Yesterday was…. interesting.
GlitterGirl was sick and pretty much just wanted me to lay on the sofa with her all day long. Which I mostly obliged.
TwinkleToes was feeling great, and wanted to run and jump and laugh and play all day. I could get down in the floor and play with her while GlitterGirl slept, but while GlitterGirl was awake I just kind of had to point and direct TT’s play. Luckily, she’s in this huge coloring kick right now, so she spent probably two hours just coloring (in ten and fifteen minute increments, not all at once, of course).
And, of course, TwinkleToes slept while GlitterGirl was awake, and GlitterGirl slept while TwinkleToes was awake. Which helped in a way because it gave me time to give each individual attention, but was kind of a pain because I was home from work and didn’t get any housework done at all. Silly me, I had thought I could have at least a partially productive day. But, of course, it was a very productive day because I was there for GlitterGirl, there to hold her while she felt bad. Just depends on your definition of “productive”, I guess.
RK stayed home today and I’m working. RK is going to take TwinkleToes in for her Valentines Party so she won’t miss it, so he’ll have GlitterGirl alone for most of the day. GlitterGirl is majorly bummed that she is going to miss her party at school. Majorly.
