Hump Day

We didnt have Kaiah and Maisie over today because now Kaiah is now sick. So we spent our day hanging out together. We spent our morning downstairs playing in our playroom. Ciara felt well enough to slide a couple times. Then the kids picked out a bucket of toys to take upstairs while I made breakfast and picked up.
Ciara was feeling better today, and she showed it. She called her Grandpa Payne a couple times to chat. But she was still really clingy. I could tell she wasnt up to her normal yet. She still has a pretty bad cough. I hate seeing my baby sick. Caleb asked if he could make Ciara’s bottle today. I told him how and he did it just right. He was pretty proud of himself that he could help with such an important task.
Caleb stayed home from school today. When we got to the school I think he had an anexiety attack. At first he was so excited about going, but the more and more he talked about it he started crying and panicking. He begged me to go home and he didnt want me to leave. I asked him why and he said that he needed a nap. We called Daddy and they made a deal. Caleb was supposed to have a nap today if he missed school. Well… that didnt happen. I think he just got to worked up about school for some reason. But Ben and I had a talk with him about how important school is and that we have to do things we dont want to sometimes. We did have quiet time like always and watched the movie Fred.

Caleb helped me make some dinner rolls from scratch. I not to big on the whole make your own because I never felt good at it. But these rolls turned out great! We had chicken noodle soup (without chicken) and rolls… which is the perfect meal for another rainy day.


Caleb had a big war with all his toy soldiers in front of the fish tank today. He was amazed at how many action figures he has. Ciara loves the backpack she got from her Grandpa and Grandma Walker. She calls it her pack pack and she wore it most of the day. She would put toys in and out of it. She also loves to color. She will color for only a second, then bring me the page and say Mommy pree (mommy pretty!) Its so sweet to see her want to impress me. When Kaiah is here I have both girls trying to show me what they drew.
I didnt realize how drained Ciara looked until I looked at these pictures. She really looks pail. She was lounging on me while Caleb and I played Lego Star Wars on the wii when she threw up. She was scared but with Ben and Calebs help we both got stripped down and into a warm shower… where she wanted to play.
Ben did some work on his project so I decided to rock Ciara while Caleb laid in our bed and watched some SpongeBob SquarePants. Then Daddy tucked Caleb in downstairs and I laid Ciara in her crib. Its crazy that I look forward to bedtime to have a break, but I find myself missing them until morning. 🙂
