I had today so beautifully planned out. I was finally feeling better so I dropped Liam off at the CDC as I do every Monday and then Malia and I did a little shopping. I got Liam this really cool Mickey Mouse Busy Book- there's a story but in the back of the book there are 12 little figurines and a playmat with the clubhouse and different things he can recognize from the TV show. Then I was going to drop Malia off at the CDC at 1:00 so I could go to my therapy appointment at 1:30 by myself and have a little reading time before my therapist took me back. So I go inside to drop Malia off and she's turned one since the last time we were there so she was going to a new room. The receptionist asked if we had shoes for her- which I didn't- and so I was informed that the new room she's in requires the kids to wear shoes. So Malia came with me to my therapy appointment. I sent this picture to Zachary asking him to come over if he was able- the office is two minutes away from the Academy. He tried his best to get there in time but it wasn't meant to be.
Here's Liam playing with his new figurines and playmat!
And then it hit him. Now he's got whatever it is I had. Which means lots of snuggle time. I would never wish for my kids to be sick but if they have to be sick, I don't hate the snuggles are a side effect!
There was a small break in the hot, hot temperatures so we took advantage and walked to the playground! Liam was too busy moving around on the slides for me to get any pictures of him but Miss Malia was content in her swing which provided me with the opportunity to get a few pictures.
Zachary had to go in early today to cover his chief who wanted to spend time with his family before they left for a week. We had a playdate planned and for some reason I wasn't feeling well. I thought about cancelling but when I don't feel well, I'd rather do something to distract myself than to sit around and do nothing so we went to the playdate and then I went to yoga. In yoga, I nearly left class because I just felt so weird- I was achy and nauseous- it was so weird. So when we got home, Liam made a big mess with dinner and so I asked him to help me clean it up and added "Mommy doesn't feel good." Well he proceeded to clean other areas of the house too- such a sweetheart.
Then we had story/singing time in Liam's room and Malia climbed up on the bed all by herself! She's so talented.
Zachary's working nights this week so we took advantage of this and after dropping Liam off at the CDC, we headed to The Breakfast Shoppe where Zachary got his "whole nine yards" and I got one of the specials- strawberry cream cheese stuffed french toast- oh my goodness- so good.
Last night, Zachary had to/got to go to a baseball game- while it was fun, he didn't get home until after midnight so on Saturday morning, we had a bit of a slow start. This may be the first time this has ever happened so I had to get a picture. The two cats were with us as well.
We all laid in bed for 15 minutes or so and watched "Ickey Ouse" until I remembered Joey had to be groomed and we needed to leave in 20 minutes which is about how long it takes to change diapers and get everyone dressed.
Tonight we went for walk and while Liam pretty frequently rubs Malia's back or kisses her on the head when we ask him to, it's not very often that Malia is the affectionate one. She was tonight! At first she was using Liam to sit up but then she actually put her arm around him and gave him a little hug. Liam wasn't sure what to do with that but eventually tried to hold her hand. She was over it by then and let him know it but there for a moment, they were the sweetest of siblings.
