sneezy sneezy day


We had a quiet day at home today. Neither of us felt very good, I don't think, and Dennis was very quiet for long periods of time. He told me he wanted medicine also. We were both very sneezy today and we were careful to get our vitamins. We both missed David, who always takes such good care of us when we're under the weather. He worked today, two places, but he was home in time for a yummy supper of mardi gras party leftovers. He heated it up and sent me to bed to eat so that I could get a break from Dennis, who spent the last couple of hours before David got home wallowing in my lap and leaping on and off me. He heard me leave our room to go to the bathroom and he pounded on the door and asked sweetly "don't you want to play with me, Mommy?", a request that just zaps me right in the heart. If something ever happened to him, that's the first thing I would think of and feel guilty about, so I make sure and make time to play with him when he asks so seriously. We played circus train and then he picked up my guitar (taller than him almost) and leaned over and strummed while he sang the A-B-C song. I begged for a repeat performance and captured it on film, and I hope to have that posted to YouTube maybe by the weekend. SO CUTE! We did make more valentines today and it has lost some of its allure. I had to chase him down with crayons and stickers and a lap desk and BEG him to make more. Once he found out who they were for, he cooperated happily enough. He got a Valentine in the mail from his Granny today, and I'm so glad we had mailed hers out today as well. The picture shows him applying Cover Girl pressed powder to his face after discovering the compact in my purse. I drew the line at letting him use the mascara (shudder!).
