Happy New Year! It’s an exciting time around our house – boys are growing and learning and busy, busy, busy. Here’s today –
Cole and Alex are both sick – sickest they’ve ever been. Alex has had croup since last Thursday (a week now) and has completely lost his voice. It’s so pitiful, watching him cry but not hearing any sound come out. I have to really watch him during the day. Quiet doesn’t mean good when you can’t make any noise! He’s had a fever, cough, and general yuckiness. Cole had a tough day today. High fever, terrible terrible cough, sinus pressure, etc. Poor boy – just wanted to snuggle with mom all day but can’t when little brother is around.
We had a babysitter tonight (Kristie Mahon), which was tough since they were both sick. Cole was desperate when we were leaving, asking for “I come too.” When I (mom) said good night to him, he cried. I kissed his hand and told him that he could keep that kiss with him until I got back. He put his hand up to his cheeck, paused for a minute, then said “no, Mommy just stay here.” I told him I needed to go, but Jesus is always here with him and he could talk to Jesus any time he wanted. He again said, “No Jesus, just Mommy.” Poor boy.
