There are extenuating circumstances. Number one: our internet air card has gone missing--we have not seen it in 2 weeks, so it's WiFi only for us until we get a new one. Number two, the more serious one: my Grandmother is most likely going to go to Heaven today, and it's been a bit of a tough week for the family. We did have a wonderful vacation and made it home safely Monday night, and since then Dennis has done a number of cute and wonderful things worth reporting, several of which I've been keeping up with on a scrap of paper in my purse.
We came home from the mountains with bad colds, and Tuesday morning I lay in the bed miserable. Dennis came in and said "What's wrong, Mommy?" and I told him I was sick. He said "you sick? Wait right here, I go get my doctor bag--I make you all better." Wednesday I put him down for his nap when he did not want to take one and as I leaned down to kiss him as usual, he snapped "don't you kiss me, Mommy, you go to time out right now" and pointed that demanding little finger toward the door. Later that day I surprised him with a new Mickey Mouse Clubhouse puzzle from the Dollar Tree and he told me "what a beautiful puzzle, Mommy, thank you!" and then handed it to David and said "here Daddy, this is to you--it's your puzzle, it's Mickey Mouse".
Today when I got the report of Grandmother's imminent passing away, I cried buckets, and Dennis was doing his best to comfort me. He said to me "what's wrong, Honey?" and "you call Daddy and talk to him, he will help" and then "it's okay, sweetheart, I love you". This did, of course, make me feel much better. So much better, in fact, that I went up to the pumpkin patch with Dennis and Janet to get out in the sunshine of this beautiful day. It was a nice distraction from our tragic thoughts. I'll write again as soon as I can!
