Worst Part of the Day-
Both kiddos woke up with high fevers and glassy ol' eyes....arrrghh. (Too much fun in da sun, perhaps.) Scarlet complained of a headache (her first) and neck ache and general body aches all day. The Motrin seemed to only partially work on her symptoms...
The Real Worst Part of the Day (but I am sick of talking about it)-
Will-O seemed a little harsh with Scarlet (a bit insensitive) and accused her of being whiney. It seemed remedial to have to remind him that she was illin and had a 104 fever. Seriously? When I brought it up to him he apologized and said it was his irritation with me coming out at her. That makes little sense to me and is not acceptable. She's 4 and she doesn't feel well! I come from the camp of when someone is sick they can be coddled and get to be whinier than norm...I also come from the camp of if anyone is irritated with me, please tell me and we will discuss--leave the children out of it.
Both kiddies took a nap (after I appropriately drugged them with the magic Motrin). They both slept for 3 hours! Which meant I got to read my book and then snoozed away while the kids rested their way back to health.

I am afraid of your camp.
104 degree temp is very serious.
