As I drove Aurora home today, she told me how lucky she is that she just got a weekend, and after tomorrow she'll get another weekend! Yup, our little sweetie just had two days off. She woke up feeling crummy yesterday and after about an hour at school they called Chuck (who was working from home) and told him she had a fever and had to come home. She watched movies and took naps most of the afternoon, but her fever hung on and she was still feeling sick this morning. Instead of staying home and missing work, I dropped her off at Grandma and Grandpa's house where she was greeted with hugs and promptly wrapped in a snuggie!
Apparently her fever broke and she started feeling better fairly quickly, but alas... my parents were stuck with her for 10-hours from drop-off to pick-up. I know she had a great time playing with Joey, drawing and practicing her letters and numbers, playing with my mom's old doll houses, watching TV, snuggling with Grandpa, eating everything in their house, and uhm, not taking any naps at all. I hope my folks enjoyed it, too. We're pretty lucky to have them around as back-up for situations like this, though I'm hoping we're done with cold and flu season now!

Next time Aurora does need to make sure the grandparents get their nap in. They're old!
they're not so old, but it does seem like Aurora had a pretty active day. Get well Baby Aurora!! love, susanna
We're glad Aurora is feeling better...and the furniture in the big doll house has never been arranged more stylishly!
But you have to admit mom... you guys could've used a nap.
Okay, we admit it.
Glad Aurora and the grandparents survived the day. Sounds like a good day for Aurora, though I know from experience 10 hours is a long time to babysit.
