Sickness

Ever since the kids had their double eye infections they seemed to have caught something else.  Lucy is just a spout for snot still and both kids still have a pretty nasty cough.  Poor Duder got the worst of it though right before Christmas.  We kept telling us his stomach hurt and he really didn't want much to eat.  He then got a fever and was so lethargic it was like we had somebody else's kid.  On Christmas we drove to Ingrid's and we had to stop 3 times for the poor guy.  He did make the best out of the situation though.

The first stop there was another person in the bathroom but Duder wanted to use the urinal.  He calls them trees because at the library Gaetan was trying to get him to go to the bathroom and told him that they're like peeing on trees outside.  So that's what he calls them... however you can't poop in them.  I think they frown upon that.  But he was just talking up a storm in the bathroom about his little endeavor and the other person thought it was hilarious.  I'm glad that things like poop don't embarrass little kids.  :)

And I think that part of Lucy's snotty nose is that she is cutting MORE teeth.  Poor girly is having a pretty rough time with it too.  She gets up more frequently at night time and she definitely is more touchy during the day.  More cuddly and doesn't like being on the floor to play as much as she usually does.  It's been a bit of an adjustment, but knowing what she's going through (and that she's not just being a cranky pants) helps too.

Gaetan hasn't been feeling the greatest this week either.  Nothing like what the kids have, but that definite under the weather, not functioning at 100%.  Its hard when that happens during your 'break', but probably its because we fill our break up with so much stuff!  Here's to hoping everybody will get better soon and that we are on track for the New Year.
