Pajama Monday

Luke is on day THREE of sickness. It sure makes me grateful for those 24-hr bugs! Saturday and Sunday he just had a low fever--I figured it was teething or something since he had no other symptoms. Late last night his fever climbed to 103! And then came the barf. He had an episode at 1 am where he threw up four times in ten minutes. Then one more episode this morning at around 8. He is finally sleeping. And I am planning on staying in my pajamas all day. I hate seeing my little guy sick. This is basically his first serious-ish sickness in his life. I don't remember anything worse, anyway.

Violet is having a T.V. day, sadly. (PBS is both lifesaving and disastrous at the same time.) Actually I should go read some more books to her to break it up. Either that or take a nap...hmmm.

Violet's preschool co-op disintegrated when the other two kids started public preschool. We're trying to carry on solo, but it isn't quite as fun for her when it is just us. That's ok. I think she's learning a lot more now though. She can sound out any short-vowel three-letter word, and 75% of the time she'll put it together correctly! It's pretty exciting for me. I also got her another KUMON workbook--the cutting one. This actually was NOT a great idea...she has become even more fascinated with scissors. She's been very busy lately snipping.

She gave her ponies haircuts.

View the carnage:

I'm so sorry I couldn't protect you, baby Rainbow Dash!

But how do you like your buzzed mo-hawk?

Next item:

She did this WHILE wearing them. Scary.

She also cut the strap off her backpack, but that is easily imagined and not nearly as graphic. And of course, she snipped a bit more of her own hair. Luckily she never cuts it short.

Anyway, that's my life lately. A sick 10-month-old and a destructive 3-year-old. 

Good thing I love them so much.
