Things Learned

After a two week hiatus from work to care for my sick babies, I am going back. :(
The babies are finally better after 3 long weeks of doctor visits, antibiotics and infections. Needless to say, they won't be visiting a daycare for a very long time.
Now here we have some issues we didn't have before:

1- My daughter has to be trained to sleep in her bed or at the very least sleep in her brothers bedroom with him. She got very used to sleeping with mommy while she was sick because I needed to be with her to monitor the fever spikes at night. This is proving to be extremely difficult and its actually amazing how quickly children get used to things.
I'll be hitting up babycenter.com for some tricks and tips on figuring this challenge out.

2- Our bedtime routine is completely out of whack. I still put them to bed around 8 but they don't go to sleep till after 9:30!! This is not good and so very tiring for me. Not to mention my poor Madison is literally asking for a bedtime story. With them being soo sick, I was just happy to keep them comfortable and didn't really worry about bath time, pajamas, etc... This is an easy one but nonetheless needs to be addressed.

3- Madison has very little appetite. This is a BIG issue. The ear infection and subsequent antibiotic intake has caused her to have little to no appetite. Madison is already a finicky eater so now this is going to a whole new level of stress for me. The doctors say it will come back and not to worry but she's so thin. It's not like she was chubby before and could stand a couple of pounds being lost. She was already lean and now she lost a couple of pounds. Ugh!!!!! I hate not being able to fix my children and make them all better!
