I don't make any demands on them until they are better. We also read books together and snuggle.<br /><br />Hope your little one feels better real soon!Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14669926707065532828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1328214691677556425.post-23242721040258642282009-05-19T16:38:00.000-04:002009-05-19T16:38:00.000-04:00I know that is coming in a little later, but my si...I know that is coming in a little later, but my sister-in-law through a fake birthday party with her boys when they were stuck inside because of the sub-zero weather here in MN. She wrapped up toys they already had. Made birthday cards. Got all their stuffed animals around to watch them open the presents. Made a cake. Sang happy birthday and played some birthday games (I spy and hot potato) It was pretty cute and they enjoyed it. Maybe you could open your gifts in the fort! : )Fawnda@Fireflies and Jellybeanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11098369192096978914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1328214691677556425.post-76533136441725780432009-05-19T15:55:00.000-04:002009-05-19T15:55:00.000-04:00Maybe watch a DVD from the fort.Maybe watch a DVD from the fort.Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14669926707065532828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1328214691677556425.post-28812335693489958672009-05-19T09:12:00.000-04:002009-05-19T09:12:00.000-04:00Ethan had an ear and sinus infection that I was bl...Ethan had an ear and sinus infection that I was blind to for a while, too, before I took him to the doctor. They just can't communicate their pain or discomfort really well. <br />I was going to suggest forts, as well.Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04248351772305460335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1328214691677556425.post-43687226968959943972009-05-19T08:45:00.000-04:002009-05-19T08:45:00.000-04:00We build forts and climb under for games, books, n...We build forts and climb under for games, books, naps, whatever we can think of. We even have picnics under our fort. We use sheets, blankets and dining room chairs, plus whatever else comes in handy to make our fort extra cool. Sleeping bags, pillows and special stuffed animals are usually dragged in as well.<br />And sick days, as Liz suggested, are excellent movie days! <br />KID 1 was never able to identify ear pain to us. He had a double ear infection for 4 or 5 days before I finally brought him in for his myterious fever. I felt really bad when the doctor barely got the ear scope in and said he had a pretty bad ear infection. Poor kid!<br /><br />Hope your little one is better asap...for both your sakes!Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15476636154469326229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1328214691677556425.post-50034981913566635122009-05-19T08:22:00.000-04:002009-05-19T08:22:00.000-04:00Two words: DVD player.Two words: DVD player.Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04248351772305460335noreply@blogger.com
