It's Sarah K.K., back with another installment of Toddler Thursday ...

Sorry I missed posting for TT last Thursday. We were having a sick day at my house, and it really wasn't that exciting.

Isaac was home sick Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday last week, so we were all already experiencing some cabin fever with round one of the snowstorm this past weekend. 

This round two hasn't been too bad, actually. Now that last week's weirdness (I think he is starting to get the two-year molars, and he was not happy about it) is past, Isaac's been in a great mood, so these days home have been pretty fun. I won't lie. We're watching too much television (I might have nightmares about Brobee and Foofa from Yo Gabba Gabba tonight). We're probably all snacking too much and not eating regular meals enough. (That said, even though in this picture it looks like he's been munching Cheetos all day, it was really just a couple of baked Doritos.) 

Lots of blocks, lots of books, lots of coloring, lots of mini dance parties, a fair amount of chasing the cats, far too much staring out the window at the snow ... that's what we've been doing.

There have also been some fits pitched (no, we cannot go "ousite" in the whiteout), some boundaries stretched (no, you may not climb on the vacuum cleaner), some naps skipped. But it has been so much better than the feverish, cranky sick days last week that I ought not complain. Among other things, it's a bit easier to get work done from home when the toddler doesn't demand to sit in your lap for hours on end, then crying because he doesn't know what he wants. (What he wanted was to feel better. So glad it happened.)

How have you been dealing with your toddler and cabin fever? I'm thinking the blocks, books, coloring and even the mini dance parties might get old here pretty soon.
