This week has been challenging. Jacob got sick first on Tuesday. Then Sophia and I got sick, and now Dad is sick. Whew! Couple of cool things about this week though....despite being sick:
1) Of course, I don't love when my kids are sick, but I have to admit, I love that when Sophia is sick, she is a cuddle bug. A couple naps this week were spent on me, in the rocking chair, with her cute little snore :) I didn't care what housework needed to be done, or what "me time" I was planning during their nap....for me, this was heaven. (ok, so it killed my neck just a little)...but it was so nice. Being a mom of twins, I hardly ever got to enjoy this. With two, it was impossible to rock them both at night, so we trained them young to put themselves to bed....a good thing in the long run, but still I felt denied moments like this. I'm happy that at least occasionally, I get this opportunity. :)
2) Friday was probably my sickest day, thank goodness Nathan stayed home to help w/the kids. A moment I will never forget w/Jacob was him coming in to "check on" mommy after they had dinner. Sophia and Daddy came in as well, then Sophia was off and ready to watch Sesame Street. Jacob stayed in bed with me a little while. There he was w/me, in a dimly lit room, acting so silly. He snuggled really close, did his 'fake' snoring and said to me "I sweeping", followed by giggling of course. He also kept getting in my face, and what he whispered to me I can't remember, but I do remember that popsicle breath. :) It was impossible not to laugh....and impossible not to feel like the luckiest mommy on Earth.
