Achhhoooo

There is nothing like waking up to your 22 mo old yelling from his room "mooooooooom" . Waking up this morning I found myself peeling my face off my pillow! Nothing like waking up with watery eyes, runny nose and sneezing up a storm. Once my little man heard me sneezing I could hear him from all the way in his room, "cha chuu" (bless you) ha , this kid is just to much! But wait, my body hurts and I have all of these cold symptoms, how do you stay active when all you want is to stay in bed all day? Well you just can't ! He is almost 2 and needs FULL attention and playful activity. I just can't stick him in front of the TV and call it a day.  So, you get up, do a quick breakfast, nothing fancy, and we go right back up to his room, yes WE.  That way he has his toys and yes I'll turn on the TV for some extra entertainment and I can lay in his bed!  He isn't alone, he is in a safe environment, and he has plenty of entertainment.  Now I can rest!  Then after a little bit we can go down stairs again and get a snack. Now he gets out of the room because if you give him a snack in his room then they feel stuck all day.  Balance time in and out.  But I don't dare step foot outside on a day like this, once his feet touch pavement its impossible to get this child back inside.  So when time comes to come inside, you will not only be dealing with your horrible cold, but now you will have a screaming 22 mo old and end up with a head ache on top of everything!!  So this will be my day today ! Wish me luck!
