Icky Sick!

Well, at least everyone was healthy for Amelia's birthday! On Thursday I picked up the kids early from school due to Amelia's teacher calling saying that she had a temperature of 101.5 and was acting like she felt miserable. She really was miserable. I gave her some Tylenol when we got home along with a bottle and she practically went straight to bed. On Friday morning I went in to work early (5am), and Brian stayed with Amelia. Her fever had gone up to 103, so Brian took her to the doctor. Ear infection plus a cold virus. He put her straight on Augmentin, which means diarrhea. At about noon I traded with Brian. Amelia continued to look and feel miserable until about 4:30. Shortly after that, we picked up Isaac. Later at about 6:30, Isaac was just kind of laying around and said he didn't feel well. I felt his face, and he was ON FIRE! He had a fever of about 102.5. We didn't have any children's Tylenol, so Brian picked some up on his way home. I figured Brian and I would be next!

FORTUNATELY, both kids fevers are gone, Amelia's cold is nearly gone, Isaac is still coughing and sneezing and sniffling, but feeling himself. So we were able to attend the circus! Isaac has been wanting to go for a while- we have to watch Dumbo at least once a day, and regularly wants to sing "Baby 'O Mine" to Amelia.

Isaac loved the circus and his favorite part (no surprise) was the Elephant part. The only parts Amelia really paid attention to were the trapeze artists. Other than that she wanted off of my lap to walk around or steal other kid's toys (she tried- the kids behind us had a light-up plastic sword, she got her hands on it and practically had it in my lap before I noticed!

After the circus, traffic was horrible and it was obvious that we would be sitting in the exhaust-filled parking garage for a long time, so we got the stroller out of the car and took a nice walk along the river.

Brian is going to post some pictures.
