We watch tv all day. he still sleeps because his body is spending all its energy fighting the virus.

If they're running a fever, chances are they're ok with staying inside all day and watching TV. If they start to get antsy, I put on some music and do a little dance party or go outside and play with chalk or do hopscotch... but for the most part, I keep them inside until they're symptom free.

I hope she feels better soon!

We are in this boat right now - DS (10 months) is home sick with a cold and a fever. He doesn't really watch TV yet and doesn't seem to want to slow down at all. I've managed to get him to sit in my lap to read a few books, and we've taken the dog on a walk. I am just putting him down for more naps than usual because I think he's too young to get the idea of resting or be enticed by tv, blanket forts, etc.

TV and cuddle on the couch.

TV and couch snuggling. If she's hungry, we do couch picnics. Typically she just sips a little water if she has a fever, though.

If she's feeling ok, we'll go out and do something anyway. Usually a park or something where we can avoid spreading our germs as much as possible.

@Foodnerd81: sorry she is feeling crummy! same thing over here. we tried to get DS to watch an episode of sesame street but he lasted about 5 minutes. now he's alternating between tearing around the house and whining to be held. fun times! TV + coconut water on the couch sounds lovely. hope she feels better soon!
