She's sick!

Welp, Freya has a cold ... which explains why she's been so clingy and having so much trouble sleeping for the past few days. (My children always show signs of sickness like this before actually getting sick. You'd think I'd have caught on by now.)

I'm sad that's she's sick, but at least I have an idea of what's going on. Mazie is also sick. :( Poor sicky chickies.

Last night was good. Mazie was only up twice coughing and crying that her throat hurt and Freya only got up once. All three times were short-lived. Today Freya only cried for bout 5 minutes at nap time. Yes, we do some "cry it out", if needed. Don't judge!

I just realized I stated that only having to get up three separate times in one night was a good thing. My, how things change once you become a mother (or care for anyone that needs help in the middle of the night).

We're armed with vitamin C, Kids' Immune Builder, Kids' Greens and lots of snuggles. Here we go!

Last week I took the girls to the college bookstore/coffee shop for breakfast.

I said, "Ok, girls look at the camera!" and this is what I got ...

P.S. There is a large part of me that does appreciate and savor the nighttime cuddles!!! They pass so quickly. I just tend to freak out a little bit about setting up poor sleeping habits. Me? Freak out?
