brief update

Not much going on today. Dennis was very cute sliding down his fireman pole at home, and he enjoyed our sojourn to the dump this afternoon because he got to watch a bulldozer and front end loader at work. He is spending the evening, night, and morning with his Grandma and GrandBob and we are at the Emergency Room with Uncle Denny (who has injured his ankle).

Dennis took an unheard of three hour nap this afternoon. I wasted all that time taking a nap myself and it was glorious. I think it helped me feel better after this vicious cold and sinus stuff. I am not surprised he slept so long. Last night on our way home from an errand (very late) he was saying from the backseat "I need a blanket, I need my pillow" and I told him we'd be home very soon. He said "I need to take a nap in my bed now, Mommy" and was really whiny about it. He doesn't often demand his bed, and I had hope to sleep late today. I was surprised to see him show up at my bedside at 6:15. Fortunately he just climbed in and fell asleep right away and slept another hour and a half. He did tell me, just before he fell asleep, "I need to take a bath with my rubber ducky now". Maybe he dreamed of doing just that.
