This week Aidan came down with a virus and we all were more miserable than we have been in quite a long time. He had a terribly sore throat that kept him up at night for two nights in a row crying and watching TV with us around 11PM to 2/3AM. He was miserable and we were exhausted! We had to take him out of day care for a couple of days to at least minimize the damage for the other kids there (though he probably got it from someone there, and it is definitely going around). Fortunately, it was a short-lived virus that ran itself out in less than a week, and we were able to switch our diet to soup and ice-cream sandwiches (!), which helped, along with Tylenol/Motrin at night to help him sleep. By Wednesday night, Aidan was back to sleeping all the way through the night, and he woke up on Thursday bright and sunshiney, which was a relief! He still spent the weekend taking nice long naps to recuperate, but we were glad that he was getting what he needed.
This weekend Mama and Daddy switched off with Aidan so we could each get some work done on our continuingly hectic schedules. Aidan got to go to Target, Costco, the Natural History Museum, and the Renaissance Festival at nearby Fort Tryon Park, where we saw a live "unicorn" (its horn looked real), sword-fights, and lots of people dressed up in Medieval clothes. Aidan had fun visiting with his friend Cira and Johnny and Grace, but was somewhat overwhelmed by the hoards of people who attended!
