Its been a rocky start back to the working world. The first week we had both of our cars in the shop and had to juggle sharing a car and transitioning the girls to daycare. The second week, Little A came down with something...and that something has been hanging around for 9 days now. We think we are finally one the mend now, but its been a stressful process. Its the sickest either of my girls has ever been - and the longest. We've been juggling child care since she hasn't been able to attend school since last Tuesday. I had to call out on my 7th day of employment, which was not the way I wanted to start my new job. Luckily, they were very understanding and that gives me hope for the future, since this will surely not be the last time the girls pick up a bug.
I'm really hoping that we can have a regular week sometime soon. In the meantime, I am just so glad Little A is starting to perk up, since it was awful to see her so lethargic and miserable.
We did manage to steal away with Big A yesterday for our annual Martin Luther King, Jr. Day Sixers game. We had a blast and it was fun to watch Big A get into the Sixers spirit. She even announced that she wanted more Sixers game when it was over!
In the meantime, Little A had a first last night. She figured out she could get out of her toddler bed and come into our room on her own. It scared the CRAP out of me when I woke up to see her in our bedroom in the middle of the night. Tonight I put her to bed and closed the door and went to put Big A to bed. I immediately heard little footsteps as she climbed out of bed and hightailed it to our bedroom door. I am going to have to sleep with one eye open tonight in case she pays another visit. I did bribe her with the promise of a toy if she stayed in bed all night, so here's hoping.
And here's to the end of the plagues.
