Mommy’s home vs. Daddy’s home

We had a bit of a hand off today. Since I was unexpectedly sent home from school, Daddy had to take the morning off from work. But since he already missed a day of work yesterday Mommy came home to watch me in the afternoon. This is how I reacted when Mommy came home vs.

Sick, but good appetite

Although I’m sick and my fever and moodiness has Mommy and Daddy worried, they are relieved that I still have a good appetite. But I’m a little bit more picky with what I want to eat. Sure, I want to eat a lot, but since I have a runny nose, cough and fever, not all

Moody: Clearing the table

Since I’ve been sick, I’ve been a lot more moody. I’ve been disagreeable and throwing tantrums a lot. I think not feeling my best coupled with turning 18 months which is the more common start of terrible twos is making it harder for me to manage my emotions. I overreact a lot when something doesn’t

Drinking a lot of fluids when sick

When you are sick you need a lot of fluids. So I’ve been getting a lot more than my usual barley tea and milk. I’ve been getting some apple juice and electrolyte drinks to keep me hydrated. Being sick is not so bad when you get tasty drinks like this. Yum!

Checking my temperature

We check my temperature every day so that I can be cleared to go to nursery school. But on days when I’m home sick, we check my temperature a lot more than usual. I try to help out and check my own temperature. Hmmm, still a bit high.

Need for speed

Even though I’m sick, I’m getting tired of staying indoors. I need to get away! So Daddy and I went for a pretend drive.

Up and down steps outside

I don’t know if it is the fresh air or just the space, but I really enjoy being outside when I’m sick. I’ve been very fussy and throwing some tantrums indoors. But I’m in a very agreeable mood outside, and very busy!

Crayon close up

When I draw with crayons I have very detailed ambitions which sometimes requires be to get a closeup view of my work.

Sent home (playing hooky?)

I went to nursery school today and couldn’t get pass the entrance. I had a fever so I got sent home. Looking at my face when we got back home Daddy started to wonder if I just made myself get a fever so that I could stay home. Apparently it is called playing hooky.

Fresh air at the park

I was getting a bit cabin fever and being really fussy at home. So Daddy thought that I needed some fresh air so we went to the park. The weather was really nice and when we got there it seemed like my nose was not running as much. I guess the fresh air did me

Nose bubbles

My nose was running so much that I accidentally made nose bubbles out of my mucus. Eeewwwww! But kind of cool!

Another sick day

I was all ready to go to school today but right before it was time to leave I developed a fever. It was not a surprise since I woke up a bit on the warm side. I thought I was getting better since I went to the doctor yesterday and got some medicine, but I

Going for a walk with Mommy

I really like being outside. I was so happy that the weather was nice enough for Mommy and I to go for a walk even though I was sick. I think the fresh air is good for me. Sometimes when we walk we don’t make much progress because I really like to go up and

Home sick

Over the weekend I had a runny nose which is slowly turning into a cough so I went to the doctor this morning with the hopes of getting some medicine and then hopefully going to nursery school. But even though I didn’t have a fever at home or the doctor, I had one when I

Paper helicopters

Daddy and I played with paper helicopters today. It has been a long time since the first time I saw them. I had a totally different reaction when I was a baby. I thought it was hilarious and was laughing a lot. Today I think I was interested in the paper helicopters from a scientific

Happy family

We were just relaxing on the couch and we thought that we should take some family photos. They turned out pretty good, especially considering that Daddy was holding his phone with his foot. After we took a few pictures I wanted to see them so I went to check out the phone. Daddy just kept

Color markers

I did some drawing with color markers for the first time today. I was very precise and delicate with my drawing. A lot of kids just scribble a mess, but I was quite conservative with my coloring. I had a plan to make use of the white space and create a minimalist impression. I think

Copying Daddy

I’m learning more and more every day because I’m getting better and better at mimicking and copying. That is one of the reasons that I’m picking up a lot more sign language words. But copying is not only about learning but also about fun. Daddy played a copying game with me and I think I
