Dennis has been so wonderful today. I am sick, SICK, sick today, fever and full cold symptoms (guess I've been fighting it so long that I finally succumbed). Dennis was so very sweet, visiting me on the couch, tucking me in, patting my head, kissing my cheek, all the time telling me to "get some rest Mommy and you'll feel better." He was patient and let me get lots of needed rest. He didn't destroy anything or cause any mayhem--he either played quietly in his room or brought things to the den to let me watch him play. I think he had a continuous showing of "Buzz Lightyear of Star Command" playing on his DVD player, pretty much all day, but I can't say I mind too much.
I love that he brought in puzzles to assemble while I watched (and praised) from my sick nest. I have been serenaded with Jingle Bells played on his PVC pipe "tuba" and I've been offered various Lego "Christmas presents". He loaded up his toy 18 wheeler with Mega Blocks ("boxes for delivery in the BIG mail truck" he called them) and delivered some to me. He took back the "empty" boxes on his "recycling truck" (same truck, just traveling a different route). He fixed his own drinks today, and he took his dirty dishes to the sink. I can't complain a bit--he didn't complain when I did such a bad job taking care of him today! I appreciate his thoughtfulness and understanding. But I have no idea why he took off his jeans early this afternoon and refused to wear pants for the rest of the day. He's still hanging out in a fire truck long sleeved shirt, orange socks, and Handy Manny underwear (I had to insist on the socks), but no pants. And he's so happy about it!
