My little dude (3 years old) woke up with a fever this morning. Actually, he woke up at about 1:30am and proceeded to whine the rest of the night. Ugh.
The thing is, I don't really know what to do when my kids are like this. Mostly, I'm just glad they're not throwing up.
My son, bless his heart, is going through a mommy stage too. If any of you have been through this before, you'll know exactly what I'm talking about. If we go out in public, he must be carried by mommy. Mommy must be the one to hold his hand, etc. etc. So of course, since he is sick during his mommy phase, he only wants mommy to comfort him.
On one level, this is great. We all want our little monsters to love us right? But on the other hand it's also exhausting. I find myself saying don't you want daddy to hold you? a lot these days.
So, today my son has spent the whole day lying in my bed in a kind of lethargic stupor. My husband, myself and my daughter have taken turns keeping him company but he keeps kicking everyone out and demanding that I go back and lay with him. Sweet, but kind of boring after 4 hours of Power Rangers.
I really, really hope he feels better tomorrow.

I know exactly what you mean. My oldest is home sick from school today and my youngest is going through a serious mommy-only phase. So I am trying to work while having them both try to stay glued to me. LOL.
That sounds like fun. Don't you love it when you're trying to buy groceries and your child keeps asking to be picked up?
Thanks for stopping by.
It is a weird push/pull, loving being the most loved and hating being the most loved all at the same time. Mine are quite a bit older. They are talking about who they have crushes on. It's got its owns charms and terrors!
My daughter is 7, so we're just starting to get into the crush stage. Mostly I get to hear about the boys who are "in love" with her right now. But I think boys hit the crush stage sooner-- I guess I'll get to see for myself when my little dude gets older.
