Another Room Change

Yesterday, Elizabeth broke out in a big rash all over her body. She had some dots the day before, but yesterday after naps, they looked really bad. I called the advice nurse and she said that because they weren't bothering her, weren't raised and she didn't have a fever, it was most likely a heat thing. It was super hot in the house yesterday. So, after a week or two of wondering if we should move the rooms back to allow the kids to have the darker cooler room, yesterday after naps I did it. Michael usually moves the rooms around, but I thought it might be easier to just do it and give Michael a break this time (he did have to move the heavy stuff). The kids thought the bed frames were choo choo trains and they all sat on them saying chuga, chuga choo choo and bumping up and down. It was pretty damn cute.

Everyone was a little weirded out about yet another room change, but did fairly well. It took a long time for them to go sleep and at one point they were all in bed singing, Hey Daddy, Daddy, Daddy. Hey Daddy Daddy Doh" We were annoyed, but it was hard not to laugh. Miranda had one wake up calling out for Daddy. And then at 5:30, Parker started screaming. Michael went down and determined it was a tantrum (he wanted to come get in bed with us.) So I went down, told everyone it was in the middle of the night and they had to go back to sleep. Amazingly that worked until 7am. Love the dark room.
