Do Nothing Weekend
Friday morning was spent getting my leg adjusted. As I predicted, it
took longer for me to drive to the office than it did for the
adjustments to be made. Within minutes Elliot had slightly shortened my
leg, creating the perfect walking length for me. I was strutting and
walking through the office as if I were a bi-ped.
On
my way home I received a call from Robby's school telling me that he was
complaining of his ears hurting and a headache. I drove straight to his
school, and after I took one look at my pale little Koopa, I knew that
he was sick. I packed him up and we headed to the doctor. My fears were
confirmed when she diagnosed him with a double ear infection.
The
weekend was relatively low-key and quiet. Robby was recuperating and
had minimal energy, so he was content staying in his pajamas and playing
video games uninterrupted. Knowing that he still had a fever and needed
to rest, I didn't push him to run errands or play outside. Timmy was
happy scooting around the floor, trying to put everything into his mouth
and playing with his toys. While he hasn't yet mastered traditional
crawling, he is certainly quick when he puts his mind to commando
crawling!
While I hate that my little buddy was sick, I
did enjoy the forced relaxation. I can't remember the last time I just
sat by the fire and watched movies. I think that everybody is feeling
better after our quiet, do-nothing weekend.
