Jonathan Day 66

We slept almost 12 hours last night recovering from the bug we both had.  Luckily JH sleeps as long as he does so we all went to bed and woke up at the same time.  We think we'll do one more night of Nyquil just to be sure.

JH had to play inside for a good part of the day since we were both still feeling sick.  He didn't seem to mind watching his A B C Pre-School DVD several times.  I worked while Da Da tended to JH and and brought me cups of Tea.

At lunch we all went out on the yard while JH pulled the wagon around and to get some fresh air.  It wasn't too cold but just to be sure we put a hooded sweatshirt and a windbreaker over it.  It was probably in the 60s but the sun was shining.  I had to return to work while JH and Da Da continued to run around the yard.  Da Da made JH a grilled cheese and creamed corn and I stepped out to help him get through lunch :-)  For some reason JH will eat better/faster for me, while he gives Da Da more of a hard time.  Da Da is much better at getting him on the potty and quickly brushing his teeth.

After work we took a ride to the garden center so Da Da could get a replacement tree for the White Pine that is now a shade of dark brown in the front yard.  I pushed JH around in the cart and he identified every fruit and vegetable when I said what's this... I think that is coming back to bite me since all evening he asked what things were.  He pointed to almost every item in the living room and asked what it was.

While I cooked dinner Da Da put JH on the potty and when I walked in to check on him he had unrolled and entire roll of TP.  It was in a pile almost to his knees and he was just standing there looking at me and when I raised my voice he knew he was in trouble.  I felt bad but had to follow through.  I walked him to the corner and asked him why he was going to the corner and he said "toilet paper is for going poo poo" and cried and said sorry.  I really think this is one of the only times he really meant it and knew why he was sorry.

He didn't get a nap so when we put him to bed we got kisses, hugs, and a "gnight i love you".  I think he was as exhausted as we are right now.  I hope next time only one of us gets sick so the other can step in and give JH the attention he needs.  It's 9:15 and we're headed to bed, gnight.
