The buildup to the arrival of Dennis' cousins just about did me in! He told me he wanted to go to the doctor, so we got all ready and then he said he wasn't sick at all and didn't want to go anymore. He wanted to watch a Christmas movie instead. When it ended, he knew it was naptime and so cried pitifully, saying he was SO sick and needed to see his doc. We went. He isn't sick, really, but we've been given a backup antibiotic in case he gets a fever over the long holiday weekend. And he never napped, just ran around asking if we could go see his cousins yet!
We got to Gran's and Pop's house and he ran in to see Caedmon and Mirella (it's been a year and a half since they were together, I believe). He ran back out and said to me "they are here but they are singing right now and I'm kind of scared." He ran out into the garden to see them and told them he'd brought toys to share and the three of them happily played with the wooden trains and tracks. They also played roller coaster and tornado in the big Christmas tree box, and when they were in the car together, I heard Dennis and Caedmon making up fairly elaborate stories to tell. I can't imagine when he's ever had more fun.
Today he was thankful for "the games that I play".
