Lincoln has been sick all week and well, at our house if Lincoln aint happy aint nobody happy... especially Mama. Its been a rough week of whining, holding him all day and night, and very little sleep. In fact Tuesday and Wednesday night combined I got a grand total of 6 hours of sleep, half of which was on the couch with Lincoln. Seriously, its almost like having a newborn again, but a newborn that weighs 30 lbs and can run away from you.
Last night I came home from work to find him sound asleep. I was actually in bed by 1:30, and slept until 7 completely uninterrupted! When it was time to take Savannah to school Lincoln actually willingly left the house. Granted he was just wearing underpants and wouldn't get out of the car at the bus stop, but still I didn't have to carry him to the car kicking and screaming. When we got home we laid on the couch together to watch some cartoons, and by 10:30 we were both sleeping. I actually had to wake him up almost 3 hours later to go to his speech therapy! He is now at home playing happily. He has been chatty and fun all afternoon. Its days like today that remind me how much I love him, even if he is a screamy, aggressive, maniac child most of the time.

Sick children are no fun. I'm glad your day went well. Nothing like sleep that can make things better!
