What’s a Week Without An Illness?

 

It’s been a crazy week in our house. It all started last weekend when Henry was just not acting like himself. He didn’t sleep well Sunday night so on Monday I took him to the doctor. Of course, he had a double ear infection with one about to burst. Since this is his fourth ear infection in six months, the doctor suggested taking him to an ENT to talk about tubes. Poor Henry was just miserable. He usually is not affected by ear infections but this one was different. He wasn’t able to sleep and was just not his normal happy self. It was hard to see. He’s doing better and we’ll see what the ENT says on Monday.

This week at the kids’ school was Field Day, Pedal With A Purpose(which raises money for afterschool programs at the Y), and an Easter Egg Hunt.  Henry and I went and watched Claire’s class do all the events and it was a lot of fun. Claire was so excited to bring her scooter to school. First up was the bikes/scooters:

Then gymnastics:

Since it was also Healthy Kids Week there was a fitness station:

Poor kids, it was a little cold outside. Claire was not having a lot of fun outside.

Then the Easter Egg Hunt; Henry joined in on the fun:

*Funny story about the Easter Bunny: whenever we mention the Easter Bunny, Claire asks who is “under” the face. It’s pretty cute.

That afternoon Claire got home and proceeded to have a fever all day and throw up. Poor little girl. We ended up not going to Henry’s Field Day yesterday because since Claire wasn’t feeling well and Henry was still getting over his illness. Thankfully he didn’t even know he was missing out on anything. Claire is still battling this random stomach bug and Henry is doing better.  We are all ready for warmer weather!
