Hey, Mrs. Wilson!

I had a worse-than-newborn night last night.  Kaylie was up twice (three times if you include when she came downstairs and thought it was morning), and Liliana was up screaming every. single. hour.  No exaggerating.  After her last time up, at around 6:00 am, I got to sleep two hours straight.  It was wonderful.

I’m kind of spoiled.  Lili has been sleeping through the night since she was 8 weeks old.  Having a night like last night is hard!  Normally, she’s up looking for her soother once, maybe twice, but not screaming all night long.  She was happy as a clam when she got out of bed at 8:00 this morning though.  The little monster.

Kaylie’s fever had spiked when I checked it before I went to bed, but this morning it was better and she had her appetite back.  We let her sleep in until 8:30 am (she should give Liliana some sleeping lessons) and she hung out on the couch until about 10:30 am when she started begging to go to school.  This kid loves school.  And it was 100 day in her class.  She did not want to miss it.

Her fever was gone (37.1) by that time so I decided to let her go.  I sent her with a stay-inside-at-lunch note though, just to be safe.  I don’t think that she has mono like I feared.  Last night she was quite out of it, even hallucinating fireworks, but this morning she was better, just a little dizzy.  I’m hoping that it’s just a mini short-lived virus.

Since Noah works stupid shifts (11am - 8pm), I let him put the kids to bed Monday night, since he doesn’t get to see them hardly at all during the day.  Liliana is hit and miss when it comes to stories.  That night, she was hooked.

I think I figured out what was up with her last night.  I’m pretty sure she’s getting a molar on her bottom left-hand side.  I felt something sharp there today.  She likes showing off her teeth.

She also likes smiling.  Especially when she’s supposed to be sleeping.

This kid has about a billion toys …

… but she’d rather chew on Daddy’s iPod cord.

Lili’s big sister sometimes gets a little camera envy.  She loves seeing pictures of herself.

It’s probably because she’s so cute.

Kaylie came home after school today feeling great.  She wanted to go to Grannie’s house after school, but I, being a horrible mean mommy, made her come home so that she could rest.  Moms are so boring sometimes.

She went to bed tonight without a complaint of feeling yucky.  Liliana did not.  She’s already been up screaming a couple times. It’s a good thing I’m in a good mood.  I just came back from a girls night out.  Those always put me in a good mood.

If you’re up in the middle of the night, think of me.  I’ll probably be up too.  Getting my exercise by walking to and from Liliana’s bedroom.

Teething is fun.
