Pajama Day in Tuckahoe

Wednesday we stayed home except for a lunchtime trip to McDonalds. The kids loved it and it was fun to get out of the house. Andrew is very serious about making sure that he gets the same and as much food as the other two by yelling "mine" over and over again. Andrew and Abby fell asleep on the way home and I successfully transferred them to their beds.

We also played in the yard and probably watched too much TV ~ but I'm the Nana so it's not my job to discipline, just entertain and keep everybody happy and alive.

Today has been sad. Connor starting throwing up at 5:30 in the morning and continued all morning; he couldn't even keep water down. So sad! But he's the bravest "thrower-upper" I've ever seen. No crying, just getting to the toilet or a bowl every time, leaving no messes for Nana. Thank you very much! He finally fell asleep and has slept most of the afternoon, but has a fever. He woke up starving and we're hoping the food stays put. He says his stomach feels better and I've given tylenol for the fever so hopefully the worst is over.

Needless to say, we all stayed in and haven't changed out of pajamas all day. Everybody needs a good pajama day once in while, however it's better if you don't have to be sick to get one.

I hope the little ones get better and all stay healthy for you.

It's a big chore to take care of kids when you are old as we are... and you're even older than me!

You're a good grandma to go and play with them. Leave the discipline for their parents - Enjoy being the Grandma!

I think you have ben doing a terrific job. I am sorry for Connor. It is terrible being sick and vomiting. No one likes that and he seems to have handled it well.

It is hard to take care of kids as we age. That is why we have children when we are young.
