Monday morning we woke up and met Grandpa Mike and Dylan for brunch at Bob's Big Boy (Mike really wanted it). We haven't been out to a restaurant in a long time because Ava usually doesn't sit still and it doesn't make for a nice outing when you have to walk all around the restaurant. But, Ava and Noah did really well. Ava pretty much just ate off our plates and was quite content to do so.
Then we went over to visit with Grandma Heidenfelder. It was a quick trip over there. She was having her lunch and then she was off to nap.
After we left, things started to go downhill from there for the kids. Aunt Nancy and Uncle David came over to visit, but the kids were starting to not feel well. That afternoon, neither of them had taken a nap. Ava had been staying up until 8:30 pm each night (normally she is in bed by 7pm) and waking up at 5:30ish, so she was lacking sleep. We had been running around a lot while we were there, so I think she was run down. Noah's nose was running and he hadn't taken good naps either. That is when we decided to switch rooms. I had a feeling that Noah wasn't going to sleep well and he usually wants his mommy. That night, no one got any sleep. When Ava is sick, she just cries and doesn't sleep. There is nothing you can really do or say to get her to stop. Noah slept until about 8:30pm and then woke up. Pretty much that was it for sleep until about 2:30-5. Noah would only sleep on my chest, so I only dozed in and out of sleep the entire night. I tried putting him in his crib, but he would either wake up as soon as I put him down or 20 mins later. I think Ava finally passed out at 2:30 am. At one point, I finally got Noah down and then went into Ava's room and got her settled and then Noah woke up again.
We were all tired and I feared the plane ride home. Noah slept once we got to the airport and when we got on the plane he fell asleep again. That was nice. Ava was good until we started to land. She started crying and saying that her ears hurt. After about 10 minutes of crying she passed out cold. She was pretty cranky until we got home and put her down for a nap.
It was a really nice trip. I am glad that we went. We all just decided to catch a bug. Ava is feeling a little bit better. She is still waking up a couple times a night. Noah is just not napping well, but sleeping through the night, which is helping Mike and I catch up on some sleep!
