Well DD went to bed at 7:45 last night and was asleep by 8:15 or so but woke (fully sometimes, half woke others) many times throughout the night with this damn post nasal drip/cough. Then she cried at 7:30 but went back to sleep until 9:20. She's still in there now but I don't imagine going back to sleep. I'll put her in for a nap by 2 or earlier if she seems to need but fully expect it will be another no nap day - too bad because mama is exhausted from this cold too and needs a nap! Will try Benadryl for her tonight to see if that helps the drip and allows us all a better night's sleep.

Andrea, Stacy and others - here's to a  good nap day for you guys!

Doesn't happen my butt! I know many LOs who get diarrhea with many or all teeth. Hang in there!

Well she had a fever of 102.2 when she woke and was still saying her mouth/throat hurt and she is pretty goopy. This cold just doesn't end - poor girl. She had a breakfast of milk and then vanilla ice cream (cause it helps her mouth) and is picking at a homemade waffle now.

Karen -Hope Marisa feels better soon and Stacy lets hope that tooth comes through quick :-*.

Well I'm on nights at the mo so DH looks after DD in the morning and she did go down for a nap.However she never fights Daddy regarding naps.I am obviously much more interesting company than DH-LOL ;)

Thanks Andrea! LOL about your DH and Sasha napping!

Surprisingly DD fell asleep for her nap just after 2 - which I really didn't expect. Will probably wake her by 4 if she's not up - hate waking a sick kiddo but want her to sleep tonight too so I can maybe get some rest!

Definitely on the chocolate Stacy!!! Hope Kaleb feels better/gets those teeth soon. Thanks Andrea - I need a decent night of sleep if I'm ever going to kick this cold too but mostly I just hope DD can feel better soon. She was really hard to wake at 4 but is playing with DH (who had the day off) now and I guess I'll try a late bedtime of like 8:30 unless she seems tired sooner. So hard to say when they are sick. She's in a good mood for now though so that is good!

Thanks Aisling! DD's fever finally broke yesterday - yay! So now she just has the lingering post-nasal cough but feels good. She's too smart though - she was having some vanilla ice cream the other days while sick because her throat hurts and just now she was in the kitchen with me while I was starting to get dinner ready and out of blue she said her mouth hurt and then asked for ice cream. LOL.
