Emma dancing to Bob Marley (yes, she chose to do this over cupcake eating!),
Elsie with blue frosting, Delia with pink.
Last night I got three hours of sleep, thanks to a combo of a late night (my fault), insomnia (rare for me) and a sick feverish kid flopping around beside me (as usual she was thrilled to be with us but Could. Not. Sleep. in our bed and eagerly went back to hers eventually). The day could have gone really poorly due to the circumstances, but it was actually pretty great. Emma went to school full day (a rare treat) and had a fabulous time. Delia is the sick one today, and she was really dragging but rallied off and on, especially around dinnertime and right after (dancing a bunch too) thanks to fever meds.
I know, cupcakes are not the best food for sick kids, but we don’t always follow the rules around here! Thanks to my cousin Sarah for the delicious fancy cupcakes (and sorry TT for missing your birthday playdate!). Oddly, my kids decided dancing was more fun than cupcake eating, so they mostly just had a bit of the frosting and are saving the rest for tomorrow!

I want to dance to Bob Marley and eat giant cupcakes!!
TT let his cupcake last all day too. A little frosting in the AM, a little more after naps and then the cake right before dinner. It was his birthday, so whatever! Looks like you guys had a great afternoon! I hope you got to eat a cupcake too
I think it’s cool that they wanted to dance more than eat. Good sign!
