Toddler Life: fevers & style

the boy with the hat

fever: My sweet little guy woke up around 12:30 am the other night– “there’s something in my rooooom!” I was asleep, but daddy was not, so Andrew ended up in bed with me. The next 5 hours were kind of a blur. See, earlier that night he had a fever. No other symptoms, really, but he was warm. I expected him to fall back asleep, but instead of a blissful slumber with a warm cuddly bear, we pretty much talked all night. Every little shadow he saw, he thought was SOMETHING–kitties, owls, scary ladies, and finally at 4am he declared the shadows were turning daddy GREEN. I assured him daddy was NOT green and that HE wouldn’t turn green if he fell asleep. I could see him drifting in and out, but he wouldn’t just STAY asleep. At least not until around 5:30. I promptly fell asleep after I was sure he was out only to be woken up an hour and a half later to get my oldest ready for school. After sending him and Jason off, I napped with Andy until about NOON. It definitely threw me off, but he was feeling better and there was no pesky fever. Whew!

shadows and textures

style: He went out with my mom, this afternoon. He wanted to wear his “doctor shirt” (omgosh) and blue jeans. then, when we put on his brown boots and jacket, he noticed the brown hat hanging by the front door. Voila! We have an adorable outfit.

  • kids say such strange things when they have fevers! My daughter once said this girl needs ketchup on her head, then poked my nose and fell back asleep. So funny! Glad he’s feeling better now! Your kids are so stylish!

  • You have the most stylish kids ever.
    I’m glad he’s feeling better.

    • All they want to wear are blue jeans and fancy shirts. Andrew nearly threw a fit when Jason tried to put him in shorts, last weekend. “These are little blue jeans! I don’t like them.”

  • Oh my goodness! I swear he is one of the cutest little guys ever!
