Quiet day (except for the horn Dennis blew every once in a while), not much fanfare at home to welcome a new year, new decade. We were drained from our emergency room visit last night, all 3 of us. Dennis felt pretty good this morning, not stellar, but not as bad as yesterday. He didn't eat anything at all this morning, had a half a grape and a few bites of mashed potatoes at his Grandma's house (she fixed a superb New Year's feast for us), then maybe a cup of popcorn much later. He says it's hard to hear out of his right ear, and he has told me a few times that he felt "just a little bit sick". He had a big antibiotic shot last night, and tonight he had finally perked up enough to run and jump (which unfortunately resulted in a big coughing fit). I hope he gets better soon. I'm going for a follow up visit in a couple of weeks just to make sure his ears actually clear up this time.
We played a nice family game of 'Cootie' tonight at home (this was his '8th day of Christmas' present). Michael and I always loved that game when we were kids, and Dennis loves it equally well and is able to follow the rules and really play it, not like the Chinese Checkers that Uncle Denny attempted teaching him that turned into T.E.G.W.A.R. (The Exciting Game Without Any Rules) rather rapidly. Dennis is quite good at Cootie, and, well, he's really good at TEGWAR as well.
I'm so looking forward to watching him grow in body and knowledge, personality and ability this year!
