It's been one of those weeks around here.
On Monday we hung around the house and I was able to cross things (laundry, grocery, Target, etc.)off my to-do list, which was really long since we'd been out of town. The boys played and Luke found an opportunity to bother Caleb.
Luke kept leaning, Caleb kept scooting over.
Monday night it was obvious that Luke had a stomach bug, and it continued throughout the day Tuesday. We were able to get some prescription diaper cream (bless his heart!) and put him on a pretty bland diet. He loved the Gatoraide and ate his share of applesauce, mini-saltine crackers, and toasted rice cereal. He even liked the sticky rice I made him for lunch.
Drinking applesauce is waaaaay better!
Tuesday evening the grandparents watched Luke so I could get Caleb out of the house. We actually met his buddy, Barrett, at Chuck E Cheese. The boys ate pizza, watched the show, and played lots of games.
Wednesday morning Luke woke up and I knew right off that he felt warm. While he no longer was having stomach issues, I still wanted to get him checked at the doctor since he was running a fever.
The verdict: just a virus. (Is it bad that I want something to be wrong so we can treat it and move on?!!)
Wednesday and Thursday were pretty crummy days for Luke. He basically ate ice, drank Gatoraide, ate crackers, and laid on me all day long. He ran a fever, was so cranky, wanted his passie and blankie, and even took a total of 5 hours worth of naps each day. So not normal Luke behavior!

As of now, Friday evening, I think Luke is on the up and up. His energy level was up today and he even played with his toys. Hopefully he'll wake up fever free tomorrow!

Poor little guy! But those pictures are so sweet. I especially love that first one--the look on Caleb's face is priceless! ;)
