I stayed home again with Elijah today. Much like yesterday, he's running a fever but shows no other symptoms of sickness. After a dose of Tylenol, he's as good as new.
I have no idea what to make of it, or if we will be able to send him to day care tomorrow. I guess I should just be happy that he is feeling well otherwise.
I was really needing a break from playing with toy cars and "Thomas the Tank Engine" trains. Elijah is a lot more independent outside, and not so demanding for someone to sit right there and play with him. We took advantage of a non-rainy window in the morning and were able to play outside for nearly 2 hours before the rain began again.
Our baking project for today was cupcakes. Remember what a treat it used to be to lick the spatula? Some things never change!
Our baking project for today was cupcakes. Remember what a treat it used to be to lick the spatula? Some things never change! I didn't really have ingredients in the house to make the frosting, so I sort of improvised with butter, confectioner's sugar and a secret ingredient- Ghiradelli's hot cocoa mix! The "frosting" came out more like icing, but it was delicious!!! I think I stumbled onto something awesome with the Ghiradelli's!
After baking, Elijah played for a while in the bath tub.
After bath we had lunch and then Elijah took a really long nap (over 3 hours). I cleaned up around the house, pushed through some laundry, graded papers, and set up for today's craft-a couple of Easter crowns.
Finally, watching a little "Word World" on the computer.
"Modeling" one of the crowns-
As you can see, no silly fever holds us back!!

I want to have a sick day at your house! It sounds like you made the best of another sick day... hope he is better by the weekend!
You're such a great, fun Mom!! I can see Elijah's pink, feverish cheeks in the pictures but it sure doesn't look like it's bothering him any! Glad to hear that he's still having fun, despite the fever!
BTW, Word World used to be one of Kyle's FAVORITE shows. Now he's graduated on up to Word Girl..
You sure do make those sick days fun for Elijah! I love the craft projects!
Now I feel like a bad mom - I never have craft moment like that with Estelle. No space! Sorry to hear he's still got that fever. What a drag.
Heather likes Word World too. I love your Easter crown craft idea. I'm going to have to try that one here. I also like Elijah's craft smock - it looks like it might be one of Ed's shirts! Funny! Hope Elijah feels better soon, but I think that you and he both are having more fun at home than at daycare and work.
