Lo is sick today- (insert frowny face here) he was slightly under the weather yesterday and by last night it was full blown! We had a rocky night of tossing and turning, waking up un-able to breathe and coughs. Bless his little baby heart! I always hate these times because he is just so darn pitiful, thankfully they are few and far between. “Nose,” he says in his pitiful little voice, and we just melt. Aside from not being able to breathe, watery/puffy eyes, and a terrible cough his spirits are still high, he has the best little attitude and it doesn’t hinder his playing abilities and WOW, what a helper he has been today.
I woke up feeling icky today myself, a little strange and out of sorts so I decided that I would spend the better part of the day getting the house in order because it too was out of sorts. So that is exactly what I or I guess I should say…we did! It looks and smells so wonderful. Lo helped me unload and load the dishwasher, pick up, clean the floor, gather and throw away trash. Even in his “state!” He has me saying, “WHAT A GREAT KID!” I love to have his help, and even though sometimes (most of the time) it makes extra work for me, that’s ok. If I didn’t let him I know I would one day wish that I had let him and had those memories of seeing him learn how to be such a big helper. A mixture of having everything in order and the huge excitement beaming from that little boys face in turn made me feel SO much better and more, put together on the inside. I guess when your surroundings are a bit dis-organized it can make us feel that way as well. Not to mention, I love having things checked off of my list, I am a ‘bit’ OCD.
On a different note, I do believe we have found us a Church; the WHOLE family. Yes, I know it’s an amazing feet that we all have found somewhere we all felt good about. After a LONG time of not going and having no interest in going, then searching for one once we moved, I do believe that I can say we have found one that we really like. A laid back, friendly setting, people with sincere good hearts, and NO weird-ness and believe you me we have had our share of “weird” in a church setting. It was so nice to go somewhere and really feel welcomed. Lo, surprisingly went right in the nursery, I of course could not believe it and stood on the outside for about twenty minutes until he started to ask for me, then I went in and sat while he paid me no attention and continued on about his playing. He played extremely well with others (he must get that from his daddy); he made a sweet little craft which is presently hung proudly on our refrigerator. Later yesterday evening when we were at home he asked to go back to “chuch” and “pay (play).” So needless to say we are getting back in the church swing of things.
B came home from work early today, which was exciting to us both and is presently snuggled up on the couch watching “Doo” with lil’ man; nap time is drawing near and as for me a shower is definitely on the books. We don’t have any huge plans or anything “special” to do today except for maybe some R&R, a little bit of shopping and possibly burgers, hotdogs and all those goodies, per the hubs. Enjoy your day and all the ones in it, it’s best that way!
