Sick Week

This week has been unique because we now have two girls too sick to let out in public. Mary Lane has an ear infection as of Monday and here we are Thursday and I still think she's not feeling 100%. Erica then got pinkeye Tuesday so we have missed two days of school/work and it has really thrown my week off. It is just the low-key, moping around kind of minor illnesses but still very isolating to try and keep away from friends and prevent spreading germs.

Staying home all week has inspired me to do some unusual cleaning tasks. I'm washing bedding (including Erica's beloved purple blanket) every day and boiling pacis. Fun stuff.

This morning Mary Lane woke up at 5:30 and only had about 30 minute nap a few hours later, so by lunchtime she was getting delirious. Wasn't crying, just rolling around on the floor instead of sitting up gleefully playing with toys. It was close enough to Erica's naptime that I thought it would be good to try and wait to put Mary Lane down at the same time. Continuing some of my unusual household tasks, I was turned away folding curtains out of the dryer or cleaning a fan. The girls were across the room very quiet and I cautiously wondered what they were doing.
Cute girls have been playing together more and more, so as long as Baby wasn't screaming like Toddler was trying to pinch her cheeks off her face, I figured everything was OK.

Went into the living room to find them both sleepily reclining on the floor, switching pacis back and forth from each other's mouths. Sharing was very sweet to observe, but so much for preventing the spread of germs!
