Full house down :(

Having an unwell baby is tough... They get cranky and clingy and your heart breaks every time they sneeze.... Or cough... :( 

They look so helpless and little that all you want to do is to hug them and not move...

But it's also really tiring... Because imagine trying to do other things like making a cup of coffee or trying to pay the grocery guy at your doorstep with a monkey clinging on to your legs... 

The only thing tougher is being unwell yourself... And having everyone at home a bit under the weather as well!!! 

So as of right now.. Not only does bumling have a cold cough and slight fever..he's passed it on to his Nani... And Aadi's back is very badly pulled... Poor guy can't even bend to pick up the bumling.. And to add to it all my monthly visitor is here creating havoc with my stomach.... 

So by dinner time we were all pooped!!! 

The funny part is bumling was feeling better today...and had a sudden energy burst in him and was running all around the house.... While we were all trying to have dinner so that we could pass out!!

And it was tough because he kept running around... So I resorted to our magic trick.... The only thing that can get him to sit in one place quietly for a full half an hour....

MOTHER GOOSE CLUB!!

Its the most amazing thing ever....

Even though according to me all the kids and adults seem to be high on something ( I mean come on, no one can be that happy and cheery... It's just not normal!!!) but bumling loooooooves it!

All the colors the kids and their costumes... The fun nursery rhymes... It's all very mesmerising for him.... He literally can't get his eyes off!

I know I know tv and video viewing isnt the best thing for a toddler... But somedays allow it... Don't stress your self out... The trick is to only use it on days you have absolutley no choice... 

Like us today... We could all barely move...none of us had the energy for anything.... And he was on fire...but these videos just calmed him down...he say quietly on the sofa watching.. Occasionally looked at us and clapped his little hands...but otherwise he didn't care if we were even there!!!

So here is hoping to all our speedy recoveries... Until then I'm going to kiss the heads of the guys who made those annoying mother goose videos!!!!
