Today was one long exhaustion for sweet Monkey. We went to a park this morning. She had a low fever and a runny nose, so I figured she's working on her molars, which have been coming in for a while now. She completely konked out on the way home and after a quick diaper change, went to bed at the apartment. Moose insisted on going to bed at noon as well, looking forward to an evening playdate, while me and the hubs have a date. When Monkey finally got up from her nap about 4 hours later, she was super hot (much of it due to the super warm clothes she was wearing from our slightly chilly time at the park.) and had a high fever. After some tylenol and walking around in her diaper, her fever was already going down significantly. However, she was still lucky enough to stay home with us and encroach on our date while Moose got to go play.
I never like having a sick (or teething-sick) baby. But it's so precious to have them fall asleep on you. She fell asleep with me in the afternoon, and the hubs at bedtime. Hopefully she'll sleep well and be a ball of energy tomorrow. We have a lot on the menu and it will be a lot easier and way more fun if she's up for the challenge. If not, we may have to weed out our plans a bit.
It was nice to have a date. Even if Monkey was home with us. Those nice, quiet times can be so essential to couple-health. We were having regular (weekly, for the most part) date nights in our previous city. For almost 2 years. We've had an occasional one here and there for the last 8 months, but nothing close to regular. It was nice. Next week we'll be watching Moose's buddy, and the week after that: Date night! Yay for date nights!
