It's been a long week around here

Last Thursday both girls starting feeling bad, Friday they were pretty lethargic and Riley was complaining that her ear hurt. I put drops in it, gave them both some Tylenol and headed off to work leaving them in Bill's hands. Saturday and Sunday Riley stayed in bed all day voluntarily. Monday we headed to their doctor since they weren't getting any better. The diagnosis? They both had bronchitis and Riley had a bilateral ear infection. In addition to this Bill and Stacey both have sinus infections they're fighting off, and all 4 were on antibiotics, and Bill, Sam, and Riley are on inhalers. Do you know how hard it is to get a 4 year old to use an inhaler properly? Amidst all this I came down with a mild version of whatever plague is going around here.

Fast forward to today. Girls are up and playing, seem to be pretty healthy, Stacey is out and about, I'm feeling much better. Just Bill is still pretty sick, or so I thought. After going to bed tonight Sam came out crying about her ear hurting. Here we go again.

Today is a banner day...

But not in a good way. The morning started with Riley getting up this morning, coming in to cuddle with me, and then puking. She seemed fine, so we got dressed and went to ballet anyway. When we got there, she puked again, so no class for her. She just wanted to snuggle in my lap
anyway.

However, Sam was just fine, so she went into class. This is her first class all by herself. I hadn't counted on their first seperation to occur until years from now. Parents aren't allowed in dance class anyway, so it always gave me comfort that they had each other in there. I'm sure she's fine, but still...

P.S.

Apparently she missed Riley, and just sat for most of the class. They were happy to see each other again after class.
