"GOTCHA!"

Last night, about an hour after going to sleep, Neely woke up crying, all hot and sweaty.  We tried comforting her for quite a while, but it didn't help much.  Eventually she went back to sleep, but was clearly uncomfortable.  We were pretty tired this morning, and she still wasn't herself, but was less hot and sweaty, and eventually worked her way up to playing with her brother and sister.  Jess said he felt weird at lunch, and he ended up staying home.  He said maybe we could trade off taking naps, and he let me go first since I was up more with Neely.  I napped maybe 20 minutes and when I came out I knew immediately he was sick.  He had his dark circles under his eyes, like he always gets, and I quickly traded him so he could nap.
 Miraculously he never actually threw up and even got up and showered a couple of hours later and spent the evening out amongst the living.

Neely would go back and forth all day seeming fine and then like she didn't feel too well.  I was changing her diaper one time and she was feeling a little more playful.  I felt her suddenly grab my forearm and she yelled "GOTCHA!"  Ha.  Sweet one.
