Sibling Fun

Riding tigers in the living room.

Falling off tigers ...

Conall and Caitlin have gotten along really well lately and have played well together (now that I've said this, I'm sure it will change). Conall has even been a super sweet big brother and played dress up with Caitlin -- they have worn wings and played like they were fairies from Tinker Bell.

Fairy Rain Boots

At the recent kids consignment sale, I got Caitlin a pair of rain boots. They have fairies on them and fairy wings on the front. Caitlin LOVES them! She puts them on several times a day and wears them through the house. She even wore them to the car while we ran an errand today. Isn't she cute in them?

Sleepless (and feverish) in Little Rock

Well, once again we're all sick here. Conall ran a fever of 103.8 yesterday before we got it down. Stu took him to the after-hours clinic (which Conall is still making me pay for in guilt) and he has a bad inner ear infection. The doctor said that if we had an infection that bad we'd be howling about it and that Conall was handling it really well. Once again, the malrotation has given him one heck of a pain tolerance!

Conall and Caitlin took turns getting up all night last night. At least they took turns! Then, about 5:30 a.m. Conall was up and ready to go. The wonderful result of Tylenol with codeine -- it makes him climb the walls. He's still running a fever around 101-102 depending on how active he gets. And, he is complaining of the other ear hurting today. About 5 a.m. he told me that he "had a fairy in my ear." Don't know where he got that one.

Caitlin has a snotty nose and a low grade fever. So far, hers only got up over 100 once. I'm sneezing and coughing and probably running a fever, but haven't had a chance to check it. Stu and I got very little sleep last night -- I'm not sure I even got 2 solid hours.

Ok, I guess I'm done complaining now. Just wanted to give everyone an update.

Update: 3;15 p.m. Caitlin is now running 102.6. Conall took a long nap this afternoon, but woke up with his fever back up to 102.
