She's not well at the moment. A bit of a cold, a bit of croup. She had today off school - and that's saying something! It takes a lot to convince Sienna that she's not well enough to go to school! She loves it.
I'm very lucky that I can stay at home to work if one of the kids are sick. Gosh I get so much more done when that damn office phone isn't ringing beside me all day!
After the two little ones were dropped at kinder and daycare, and of course a quick trip to the doctor, I grabbed the laptop and hunkered down on the couch with my big girl. We yapped while I worked, she's good company my Sienna. Cold and dreary outside too, so the perfect day to be stuck inside. Just need to get her well for her birthday on Saturday!
But regardless of being unwell, our almost-7 year old creeps into our room a lot still. At least twice a week. Sometimes she'll go back to her own bed, some nights she can't be convinced and ends up on a little mattress beside our bed. She seems to have this need to be near us more lately. Even though she can have the attitude of a hormonal teenager some days! It doesn't bother us at all, just another little phase that she'll grow out of I guess.
Chace also often sneaks in some nights too. Not Alexis though...she's out from the second her head hits the pillow, all the way through to morning! The other two have music, lamps and night lights at bedtime. Lex likes darkness and quietness.
I do find it comforting though, having my babes nearby while they/we sleep. I like them close by. And rather than fighting with them for hours to get them back into bed, at least this way we all get some sleep.
