fevers and shiners

About an hour after I got settled in at work I got a call from daycare. Miss Gwyneth was running a low fever, but worse she was completely out of sorts. She wasn't playing with her friends, she had laid down on her mat, and really just wanted to be held. She was acting very un-GG-like!  I didn't hesitate to pick her up and spend the rest of the day holding her. She slept on and off the remainder of the day - for 2 hours in her crib so I could get a little work done but the rest of the time was on my lap.

My poor little sick girl

Gwyneth was pretty happy when her big sister came home.

Annabelle came home with a SHINER!! I was shocked and asked her what happened. She said "I hit the ground!". Apparentlly she tripped and forgot to put her little hands down so her cheek took the brunt of the trip. It didn't seem to bother her much - not nearly as much as it did me! 

The girls are always sad to spend the day apart and they had to reconnect this evening. Annabelle was happy to hold her "little" sister on her lap!

Gwyneth's fever broke and Annabelle's bruise started to fade by morning. Gwyneth was restless through the night and didn't sleep very well, but seemed back to normal. Annabelle showed up in our room at 6:45 a.m. and said "I awake!". This was the first time she got up and came to find us. We were thrilled to see her at 6:45....I wonder if we'll feel the same if she decides to visit us at 2:00 a.m.???
