David, Jake and his parents went on a walk today and when they came home, David handed me these flowers he picked. He was so happy and proud. (Though I think it’s bad to pick flowers from nature. Isn’t it?)
Nathaniel’s been really sick. Like 103 fever. I feel terrible. I’ve been nursing him as much as I can and holding him and giving him medicine. He’s a little cranky but really his sweet little self still. I wish I could make it go away.
David and his grandfather got to play Candyland today and David won. He was really proud.
And here’s Jake’s mom with Nathaniel who really wanted to be with me all the time so I was glad when he let her hold him for a bit. He’s just been tired and sad a lot.
My poor little boy.
Note to Self:
Jake and I have gone on dates two nights in a row and it’s such a luxury to get to go out for a little bit, just the two of us. Going to the movies is such a big deal to me. I love sitting in the dark room, falling into the movie and getting lost in the story while holding his hand and snuggling up. It’s something we need to do more often. Good for the soul.
Three Things I’m Grateful For:
1. Getting to go to the movies last night and tonight. What a luxury!
2. Fresh cut tulips.
3. Nice, easy going and loving in laws. Such wonderful people.
David’s started doing a grateful list to so I will list his here, too. He only has to pick two things.
Two Things David’s Grateful For:
1. He’s thrilled about the puzzle his grandparents got him.
2. One of the Wii games David’s been playing is this game of towers made of blocks that you knock down and he was thrilled that the game let him build his own towers.
I love the movies too – what did you see, were they good? Your week in the life book is fantastic – it will be so good to look back on, I wish I had done something like that when my children were small.
I, too, want to know what movies you saw. It’s one of the hardest things as a parent, to see your child sick and not be able to do anything but to wait it out. And I don’t think it’s bad to pick from nature, as long as you don’t take it all, there is much to be learned by bringing nature in the house, enjoying its beauty and examining it up close. I think it cultivates a wonder for it and a respect for it at the same time.
Wow, you are such a great photographer. Love the flowers.
