Entertaining a Sick Toddler

Sometime between Halloween and Thanksgiving Ellen and I got pretty sick.  We stayed home for enough time that we began to go pretty stir crazy.  Neither of us are big about sitting around and not doing much.  I have to get creative about low energy ways to keep the Little Bee entertained.
 
 
This tent in between the couch and coffee table was just the thing to keep her busy for an entire afternoon.  She even ate lunch in her tent.  Of course, any good tent explorer knows that you must have a pink flashlight in your hands at all times while inside your tent. 
 

Muffy also enjoyed the tent but preferred the roof access.  She and Ellen have really been getting along very well.  Muffy has even been sleeping with Ellen in her new queen size big girl bed.  We made the transition after Christmas and she took to it pretty well.  It takes a bit longer for her to go to sleep but the incentive of sleeping with Muffy really helps. 

 
 
Ellen is also doing a great job with potty training.  She wears big girl underwear all the time, even for nap, during the day.  She sleeps in a pull up at night but is not at all happy about this.  We will transition out of this when she drinks less milk before bed.  Right now she into asking her Gramps to take her to the potty.  We are pretty excited to have such a big girl who will be such a great help with her baby sister. 
Love, The Little Bee and her Momma
