Little Boys

 

It's been a tough time around here for my little boys. My youngest came down with scarlet fever last week. He missed three days of school. His skin from his chin to his toes is red and feels like sandpaper. Poor little fellow.

 

As you can see from this photo taken today, he's much better now. His skin is still pretty terrible but other than that, he feels well.

But, as of this morning, his big brother has strep throat. He's feeling a bit spent and grumpy. And, I must admit that I am feeling a bit funky. I'm trying to get around it though and hope that I will. I don't have time to be sick (who does?).

 

While waiting for prescriptions to be filled I headed over to my favorite doggie boutique to pick up Hedgie the Hedgehog, also known as Faelan's new best friend. He's been on the warpath since the boys have been sick. No one has been able to play and run around as much as he would like. Which has resulted in the destruction of many wonderful treasures. I'm hoping Hedgie will distract him today with his grunts and squeaks as I need a nap.

I hope all is good in your world!

3 little boys out of 'whack'... yikes... there is something about the time change this year... people are worn out and feeling unwell... so sorry about your boys - there really is so little one can do to 'fix' it (as mothers want to do) except keep them comfortable and feeling safe and loved... and then it becomes extra hard to take care of yourself while others are sick, do your best anyway though... hope you all are back on your feet soon - and that hedgie keeps faelan happy...

I am glad Mo is feeling better, but am sad that you and Finn are not feeling too hot. I hope Fae's new toy is keeping him out of trouble. Call if you need anything. xoxoxo
