This week Henry and Eleanor got a fun visit from Papa! Unfortunately, neither were in top form, each suffering from fever and an ear infection. This has been the first ear infection for either one, so Mom and Dad are learning a bit as well. We have pretty much been holed up in the house all week, with temperatures up to 105. Henry got sick a couple of times, and they both would go back and forth from being happy and full of energy to grumpy and just lying on the couch. We started antibiotics on Thursday, and neither one was very excited about it. Eleanor has since gotten the hang of it (and enjoys the special treat after she finishes) but Henry is still a challenge. Sometimes it takes both Mom and Dad to get the medicine down, through violent protest from Henry. Poor guy :(
We had a super fun time visiting with Papa even though we were a little bit under the weather. Eleanor showed him how to play the matching game and Barbies, and Henry taught him how to play Sequence (by Henry’s rules). Papa even got to join in on afternoon nap time! My favorite picture this week captured the end of dinner on Saturday night. I took the picture too late to capture the awesome lasagna that Lala cooked for us (Thanks Lala!) but did capture the two pitchers left on the table in case Henry spit back his medicine – how fitting for a week under the weather!
