It's been kind of a challenging week around here. A teething, drooling, snotty faced Cheekers. A head bonk, trip to the ER, now vomit in the middle of the night Syd. Since Daddio has been out of town, the girls and I have certainly faced our challenges together. This week, it seems like I've been enrolled in the Single Mommy's Boot Camp.
I suppose I should elaborate on the "vomit in the middle of the night". Sydney was very squirmy last night and uncharacteristically opened the door several times last night needing something. Around 3 a.m., while I happened to be consoling Cheekers, Sydney cried and opened her door and said she needed help cleaning Kitty because she had "boogys" all over her. I discovered that it was not "boogys" but dinner.
This is only the second time I've had to deal with a sick tummy, thank goodness! But this one was a "good" one. Kitty and every animal and blanket that was piled on the bed needed to take a bath. Well Sad Syd still wanted to have her Kitty. This was not an option. We learned when we lost her "favorite" lion when she was about four months that anything that seemed to be a "favorite," we better buy another one. So I told Sydney that Kitty had to take a bath but that Kitty had a friend that lived in the closet that might like to visit her for the night. This friend looked a lot and sounded a lot like Kitty. Sydney was pretty excited to make a new friend!
I got Syd all tucked in with new jammies, new sheets, new blankets and a new Kitty. I asked Sydney what this new kitties name was. She said, "her name is "Black Kitty Two With White Feet while Kitty is in the Wash". Syd fell asleep peacefully and was fine this morning.
Today I got Kitty (Kitty One, now I guess) all clean. When Sydney came home from school we spent the evening having Kitty One and Kitty Two parties. They took a nap, they joined us for dinner, they played with us, they are BOTH in bed tonight. Soooooo, let's hope Sydney makes it through the night with no "booges"....because I haven't purchased Kitty Three...yet.
