This past weekend we went to a birthday party and left with more than a goodie bag – COOTIES!!! By Tuesday morning Kayden was a hot mess. Her nose runny, eyes swollen and red, and her normal fun-loving personality all but gone. She tried very hard to stay away from her sister, but by Wednesday they had both fallen victim. A two year old is a little easier to take care of because they’ll let you wipe their boogs, and they can curl up on the couch and be distracted by their favorite Disney movie. A 10 month old, now that’s a different story! The snot sucker makes her mad. The kleenex make her mad. Food makes her mad. And formula makes her PISSED! She can’t breathe while eating or drinking so she refuses it all. Due to refusing formula and food and consequently not having any soiled diapers, I figured we better go to the doctor in case dehydration set in. With the amount of snot and tears flowing from that child, I thought for sure she was dehydrated!! Fortunately, she just has a cold. No ear infection or fever to speak of. Unfortunately, she is too young to take any decongestant so we must ride this baby out! Kayden has had less than a handful of these colds in her life and this Kloey’s first one. Having two sick kiddos is hard on this mommy for sure. Especially because I am the latest victim:(. Luckily my immune system is pretty good and I should have this kicked by tomorrow. Let’s hope my girls are just as lucky! Lesson learned, I will never be bringing my children back to the cesspool known as Kidsville!!
