Two under two: when one is sick
What do you do? Well, for one thing, get used to the crying. Last night Josephine woke up with a fever in the middle of the night and was just howling. We ended up bringing her to bed with us after giving her some Tylenol, but she would periodically wake up in fits of tears. This, of course, awakened Lucy, who then decided she was hungry. So they sort of alternated cries, and soon it was 2:30, 3:30, 4:30 and so on. There is a reason they make babies cute, you know. It's for times like these, when there is no break in the crying and a parent's sense of humor has run out. Good times!

oh - poor you guys! no fun! call if you are going nuts - I can hold a baby for an hour while you pass out or scream in a pillow!
There's not much you can do. I have one kid who's tough and the other who gets every illness around. But it's making him tougher. You just have to wait it out. It sucks.
