Fevers, Naps and Pirates

I noticed Riley felt hot yesterday which is typical because we have 2, that's right 2, birthday parties this weekend. Today started with a crabby, feverish baby and then some tylenol and a bath. After her nap she was alot cooler and calmer. So, we stuck out to a 6yr old's pirate themed party. With all the activity to distract her she did well for a while. I kept her inside for the most part to keep her cool but also because she was less likely to be crushed by stampeding boys in eye patches. I realized we have now left the phase of life when the kids can attend each other's friends parties. I either spend the whole time protecting the baby from the big boys or protecting the babies from Isaac. Besides, they should have there own events. She's not a tiny newborn I can take everywhere anymore, she's a toddler. She started to get warm again as the party wore on and although I made a crazed attempt to collect Isaac and get home somehow I ended up laying down on the couch with the baby (most of the party guests were out back at this point). We slept on the couch for a little over an hour while the party went on without us. I shake my head while I write this because I feel old. It was home for more Tyelnol and another cool down bath. Hopefully, my poor girl will feel better tomorrow.
