Madeline is definitely sick. At 4:30 this morning, I noticed she was really hot (because she was sleeping in our bed of course), so we gave her some Advil. She's had a fever all day and threw up once just before supper. She's happy and more energetic when her fever is down from the Advil, but then goes back to being lethargic when it wears off. She doesn't really have any cold symptoms (except maybe a bit of a cough, but very infrequent) and is not complaining of anything, so I don't know what she has.
My cold is getting bad. Lots of coughing and sneezing and my head is stuffed up. Someday when I'm not pregnant (or nursing?), I think I'll try Cold FX for times like this, or rather, to prevent times like this.
Tonight was Sophia's last dance class until Jan 9, but we didn't go. She just didn't want to go and I didn't want to force it on her. She didn't participate much in the last few classes we went to, so it probably would've been a waste of time. She said she'll go after Christmas. We'll see. If she doesn't want to do it anymore, I'll be asking for my uncashed cheques back (it runs through May). We haven't yet tried showing her a video of Irish dancing. Laurel had the idea that if she could see what she's trying to learn, perhaps she'd be more interested. I think that may work, but we haven't looked for any such video yet.
