Yes… we’re sick again. Second year in a row we’ve been sick on A’s birthday! The cake + my mom coming over have been postponed until this cold has run its course. Also, the reason for my no post on Friday.
Anyhow, we accomplished some things this past week so let’s chat.
Celebrations lately: We did of course give A his presents–some clothes for his Dinkum Doll (I love Olli Ella), a Daniel Tiger book about visiting the dentist (something we need to work on), and a yearlong KiwiCo subscription. The doll things are the favorite for sure.
On Sunday we visited the nature center for a birding with my dad as A was doing a bit better, and he brought cupcakes and a gift. So we managed to redeem the birthday weekend a bit. Now it’s me and Eric who are sick, so fingers crossed it passes as quickly.
Surprised lately: That the local ski hill is still up and running despite the 50 degree weather. E and e still had a lesson last week and supposedly will this week. It’s going to rain on their lesson day. That is a LOT of artificial snow!
Checked-off lately: Today we visited Children’s Hospital for one of the kids’ routine scans + a follow-up, and it was surprisingly uneventful. No one threw a tantrum, everything happened on time and the aforementioned child was showered in gifts by various nurses/doctors and went home happy. We were only there for 90 minutes, which is definitely a record for this type of appointment (we have done this probably six times before).
Reading lately: The original Chic & Slim by Anne Barone. Oldie but a goodie–I did not expect to enjoy it this much.
Need to do this week(end): Pick up class valentines for Child #2 and fill out the to/from’s on all the valentines for both kids. Hang our new curtains that finally arrived (it took a month). Decide on summer camp options. Sleep so that I can feel less sick and more human!
Hope your week is off to an excellent start, and that your immune system is working better than the Walkers’!
