The past few days I have had a persistent headache and this morning I woke up with a head cold. Normally, I dread getting sick, because I can see it coming, but this time I am the only person in the house sick.
As soon as Sean and Alex left this morning, Curran was asking what we were going to do today. Typically, when he doesn't have school we build with Lego, watch a movie, play Wii, colour, perfect our farming skills, and begrudgingly practice letters and numbers; this all before dinner (lunch for all you city folk).
He realized I did not feel good and told me to go lay down and get better. He would play quietly while I rested. He tucked me into bed, cuddled for a few seconds and headed downstairs to play with orders to stay out of mischief. His response was "I'll try".
I did get some rest, in between requests for channel changes, Wii game changes, a snack, a Lego build, a tractor repair, and a pencil sharpening or four. He was also true to his word, he did "try" to stay out of mischief; but this is my son and following direct orders is an impossible task.
