the kid has this pop up play tent and when we've had visitors stay over night in the past he has let them use his bed while he was more than happy to rough it out camping in this thing. a couple nights ago he pulled it out from behind his dresser and wanted to sleep in it that evening. now, i don't really prefer him sleeping in it on (pre) school nights because i don't feel he gets the best night of sleep. the floor is hard and the tent is not even big enough for his legs to fit in there, so come 3 am he's wrestling with the thing because his limbs are caught up in door zippers. kamil tells him "not tonight, it's cold out and you'll be too cold on the floor. maybe over the weekend when it warms up". good thinking kamil.

the next morning i sneak in hayden's bedroom to get something and see this:

the kids brilliant. if it's too cold to sleep on the floor, then i'll just put it up on my bed!

these are the kind of things that make a day good!

today however is a whole other story. the kids got a temperature of 103.2 and throwing up. the best part was over dinner last night at my dad's place. good thing i was wearing a red skirt to match the red hawaiin punch that was ejected from his stomach. it's actually ok, i don't fret about stuff like that. mom's worry about their kids, not their clothes. he slept in bed with me last night so i could keep an eye on him (the hubby got moved to the couch). his heartbeat was fast and my hand rested on his skin all night to monitor the fever. he woke at 2 am to get sick, that time i was smart and grabbed the garbage can next to me! yes, no puke on mom! from 2 am to almost 5 am the kid chit chatted with me, nonsense, i think he was delirious. ahhhh, sick kids are no fun. keep him in your good thoughts!
