We have battling snotty noses and barking coughs all week. Which make for some pretty long days and nights. The kiddos seem more tired then normal. Take this morning for example Elijah slept until 11am! What where did that come from? Athaiah has been still fighting her naps some and pretty much refuses to sleep unless I hold her(can we say princess?).
Any way on to my life saver...Vicks! Elijah has been coughing a lot at night and it wakes him up, but he thankfully will usually drift back off to sleep without any help. Athaiah on the other hand will not sleep. I think the night before last she maybe slept for an hour total. It was a rough night and surprisingly enough our day went pretty good even though we both didn't get much sleep. Last night we pulled out the vicks. Greg rubbed it on the bottom of their feet and guess what? Athaiah slept the longest she has...ever! She slept from midnight until 5:30 this morning, she ate, and then went back to bed until 8am. Which gave mommy some much needed rest. She also didn't sound nearly so bad this morning when she woke up. My official new life saver and go to remedy when the kiddos are sick...vicks on the bottom of their feet. (We had footy pj's on them both, otherwise you may want to cover them with socks!)
