6/14/21 – Please Eat Your Soup

When I got out of the shower you were laying completely sideways in bed. I was expecting to keep you home from school today. But when you woke up at 8a you were happy and spry. You immediately went and got dressed and got yourself ready so I took you to school. Daddy told me that you were holding his hand all night while you snuggled with him.

On the way to school, you were telling me all about how the days go for you. I loved capturing it!

When I jumped in my car for lunch I texted Miss Amber to check and see how you were doing. She replied that actually you were not doing so hot. You have been lethargic with lots of coughing, and not your normal self. She said an early pickup would be best, and maybe a home day tomorrow. I went and got you right away. We went home and made a bed on the couch. Harry was happy to stand watch…over you and the fruit you asked for. You rested and watched some TV. Fortunately I got you to basically huff eucalyptus. A little while later, we counted all your coins from your piggy bank and found you have $56.44.

You really haven’t had much appetite. You were writing a letter to Daddy to tell him you were sick so I made a sign that said “please eat your soup.” You read it yourself when I showed it to you! The absolute best part of being sick is popsicles and movies all day. Daddy had to leave after dinner to drive to Ohio because his Mom was not doing well. We talked to him a few times during his drive. When we went to bed to watch TV you decided you needed a PBJ. Of course I got up and made it for you. Once you finished, we turned the TV off and you were snoring in no time!

I love you so much!
