Both kiddos have been sick lately and as such have come to expect certain pleasantries like vaporub on their backs, extra love and attention, and a coveted spot in bed with mommy. Also, as it just so happens, it seems like every time the girls are sick Marcus is on travel and therefore I'm left alone running between bathrooms trying to take temperatures and provide medicine without cross contamination.
I don't usually let the girls sleep with me but when they're sick it's just easier to take care of them as they wake constantly and cry for me. Alex was in bed with me for a few days, down with a fever, followed closely by Jo who developed a high fever and runny nose. Despite having only been sick for one night by the time Marcus was back home, Jo must have grown accustomed to her new status as co-sleeper in mommy's bed because at dinner the night Marcus came home she asked "Is daddy going to sleep in our bed?"
As it just so happens, later that night daddy slept in Jo's bed and she came into bed with me.
