Bump on the Road

Little man is down! 

He is dealing with a second bout of viral fever in as many months. He is cranky, and clingy. He went to sleep on time last night, but woke up at 11 pm, and believed it was morning. 

He repeated the same at 2:30 a.m.-ish. Then he finally woke up at 5:45 a.m. All the night wake-ups had got more to do with rising temperature than hunger. 

His temp fell every time I gave him paracetamol but it never went to normal. He remained a little warm throughout the night. 

Saving grace was that Figlia was pretty good today morning, and not only brushed her teeth and peed without fuss, she even got ready to take her bath. I was there with her when the bus showed up at the pick-up point, and she went in happily. 

Figlia has made friends with a much older girl who boards the same bus, and the girl gave her space to sit next to her in the bus. 

Did I tell that DH is out of town? And won't be back till tomorrow late morning? 

I could not have coped had Gracy not been there.
