Now that all my kids are in school full time, I'm really trying to plan more 1-on-1 dates with them. I feel like now more than ever, they need that special time with me and their daddy. We make the dates short and sweet, and just what they need for a little pick me up. Unfortunately, many of them have been on a continuous string of illness and injury, so in addition to "dates" we are also seeing a lot of "home days with Mom" too. SAHM life is still a very full time gig :) I confess to enjoying that quality time with them, even if I am scared to death they will get me sick again (did I mention in December, I was sick for a month with strep throat AND the flu? Ughhhhhhh)
I took Marcus out to lunch after church, which was perfect because he loves being out in society. In addition, he also loves to interrogate the servers at Panera bread about why they don't have pagers anymore ;) Also, he still does the ear trick! And... he still turns on the cuteness and charm when he really wants to get a rise out of me! Our home sick days consisted of lots of coloring at his favorite desk.
My date with Max was also lunch after church, and we always have the best conversations. His heart and mind are full of dreams, and I love hearing about it.
This boy also had an adventurous couple of weeks, complete with a tragic fall on our new treadmill (he was able to tell his classmates a cautionary tale about the importance of safety cords, and what happens when you run at full speed), followed by almost two weeks off and on with a nagging night time stomach virus. Two trips to the doctor and multiple tests. Good thing he is doing well in school, or I would be seriously concerned about this kid's truancy record!! Expecting a letter from the school now any day.
