Jonathan Day 20

Today was a really good day.  We woke up pretty early and while I was getting coffee ready Da Da went in to get Jonathan up to go sit on Elmo.  I heard Rick say OMG, are you okay?  Do you hurt?  Jonathan had a bloody nose and it was all over his face, sheets, and pillow.  It has been so hot here and we've had the AC on non stop for weeks.  I guess there is no humidity in the air and his poor little nose was dry.  Once we knew he was okay we cleaned him up and had a nice breakfast.

Once we got cleaned-up we drove in to Chicago so we could see our attorney about a few outstanding questions.  We have an opportunity to live rent free in a 500K house in a North suburb.  Since it's in another county our attorney recommended against taking advantage of the generous offer.  We'll make due on our 550 sq ft condo during the home studies.  She doesn't think that will be an issue.  He has a bed, toys, and public areas in the building to play.  Once the adoption is done we can live where we want and if the "free" house is still available we'll think about making the move.

We headed back to MI in the late afternoon and got home early enough for Rick to get the yard mowed while I pulled Jonathan around in his wagon.  We stopped by Linda and Neil's for a quick hello before hitting the kitchen to make dinner.  Jonathan played in the living room while I cooked a pork roast with apple/bacon sauerkraut.  He wanted nothing to do with the pork roast but gobbled up the sauerkraut.  It was a quick microwave of Mac&Cheese to complete dinner.  After dinner we played while watching Sponge Bob until bedtime.

He didn't make a peep when we put him down and gave us both a kiss and said goodnight.  About an hour after he went to sleep we heard crying and it was odd crying.  Not of a little boy that wasn't happy about being in bed!  Rick looked in and he looked like he was asleep having a nightmare.  He went in and Jonathan woke-up and was sobbing and breathing heavy.  Poor little guy.  Rick was rubbing him and talking to him until he calmed down.  Rick said you need to go back to sleep now and Jonathan said okay and grabbed him and gave him a kiss...twice.
