Yesterday morning, I was a single mother. Nick had left early to go play golf with Granfy Gall, so I had to get myself and two puppies ready for school/ work myself. I had a brilliant idea to put Camden in a walker and Kellan in his car seat and keep them in the bathroom with me while I showered. Right before I got in the shower, Camden started whining to get out of the walker, so I let him out and closed all the doors. As soon as I had gotten completely wet, Camden started hitting Kellan with his toy dragonfly. (Which is huge by the way.) I yelled NO! and Camden laughed. I yelled NO! again and Camden hit Kellan harder. I rushed out of the shower naked and soaking wet. I know, I know not a pretty visual. I grabbed Camden and sloshed through the house (with the gardeners looking in the windows) and took Camden to his bedroom to put him in his crib. That oughta teach him a lesson I thought. I never heard a peep out of him while I made my way back to the shower. I never heard a peep while I finished showering. After I dried off and got dressed- sorry gardeners!- I went to check on him. He was lying in his crib drinking his sippy cup and smiling from ear to ear. Some punishment!
I feel even worse for trying to punish him now though. School called yesterday and Camden had a really high fever. It got up to 104.4! You could just tell he didn't feel good. Poor guy! He did perk up last night around 9:30pm when the Tylenol and Motrin (yes both... the doctor said I could) kicked in.
Camden came to work with me for about an hour while Dad did a sales pitch. He was the hit of the office, boogers and all. He goes to the doctor at 2pm today. Hopefully it's just a little bug.
Kellan is all smiles, so I hope he doesn't catch this!
