I woke up this morning feeling terrible, so I decide to stay home. An hour later, John wakes up obviously feeling terrible, so now he is staying home with me. Since I had to take care of a sick boy that means Mommy has to put aside being sick. This morning was difficult to say the least. John was very whiny and tired. He sat snuggled next to me for an hour and sobbed on and off. He finally fell asleep around 10 am. He slept about an hour and woke up wanting to eat. After lunch, he watched an episode of “Dora the Explorer” and then I put him down for a nap. To my surprise, he did not protest and was asleep before I left his room. He slept for three hours and woke up at about 3:15 pm completely refreshed and seemingly recovered. The picture is John playing and full of smiles after nap time! He’s still doing well and, hopefully, he’ll return to daycare tomorrow as I’m fairly certain that it is Daddy’s turn to be sick.
Oh, how am I feeling, you ask? I’m good, so it’s back to work for me tomorrow! Amazing how well mind over matter can work sometimes.
