Endless day

Julia has an unfortunately pretty common pattern. She'll come down with a fever, develop no additional symptoms to speak of, keep the fever for two days (during which she stops eating almost completely), and then gradually gets better.

Last night, she didn't want dinner, which is not so uncommon. She came over to get a hug and said her tummy hurt and on a hunch, I felt her forehead. Crap.

So today Julia was home with Greg in the morning and me in the afternoon. It was a very, very long day. She was very whiny and very needy and despite not feeling well and needing to rest, she only napped for 45 minutes.

Tonight, she finally seemed to be feeling better. Tomorrow should be a better day. And today, Greg and I earned another parenting stripe.
