Daily Diary – April 6 2011

David woke up with a fever of 101.2 this morning so he was home once more. I told him that he was going to take it easy all day so he sat on the couch and read some books.

Nathaniel wanted to do the same right away, of course.

He found some choo-choo ones.

David then colored a bit.

While the little one kept “reading.”

Then David read out loud to him. It was so so cute.

They both went to their rooms after that. Nathaniel took his nap and David played quietly. I did some work. Nathaniel ended up taking a really long nap and woke up really rested.

My friend Nicholas gave me an electronic flower toy yesterday which the kids both loved and here’s Nathaniel when he hears the toy talk.

Listening closely.

Then he walked over to play with it more.

And laughed and laughed and laughed.

In a little while the kids will go down. David doesn’t seem to have a fever anymore and I am hoping he’s going to be ok tomorrow. I have a few friends coming over tonight and I am excited to see them even though I feel really tired.

Three Things I’m Grateful For:
1. I am grateful that David does seem to be ok. The fever scared me but I think it’s just a little cold.
2. I am grateful that I have friends coming over tonight. Friends I really like.
3. I am grateful that it’s been a quieter week at work. With David sick and at home, it’s been busier than usual so I appreciate the lower stress at work.

Three Things David’s Grateful For:
1. I am grateful I did my workbook {* his pick for the journal}
2. I am grateful that I colored.
3. I am grateful I played with the flower toy.
