Despite our Sickness

Eleanor and I have had quite the last couple of days. Yesterday, despite Ellie's temp still being up and some stomach sickness issues, we had Kayli over because she, too, is sick and was home from school. We all lounged around, wached a movie and drank hot cocoa.

We've also baked yummy bread, Learned to make silly sounds with our lips,

tried to eat the camera every time Mom wants to take a picture,

Practiced our walking while enjoying pretty bows in our hair (Ellie finds this headband around and sits for minutes at a time trying to get it on her head - it makes me giggle - she is then really excited when you put it on her),

And learned we can fit on the bookcase shelves if we take everything else off first!

Eleanor has also enjoyed climbing on the couch with one or all cushions off, has learned to turn around backwards to slide off, and loves to sit on the springs and bounce or jump. She has practiced walking outside a lot because the weather has been beautiful. Daddy even let her squish her feet in the soggy grass - what fun!

Today her temp is back down to normal (yay!) and most stomach issues seem to be resolved. She's still been fussier than normal this morning, but it seems she's on the mend. We will try to take advantage of the beautiful sunny day before us - maybe a walk to the library or downtown for me to get some new running shoes.
