When sick......

Luke likes:
to be picked up and held tightly; to be told he is brave; to be rewarded for getting the throw up in the toilet; to drink water out of a medicine teaspoon; to cuddle up and watch tv; to wash his hands and face often; to prop up with lots of pillows; to wear his favorite underwear backwards so he can see the picture on them; to lie on the floor in each room in the apartment just to get out of his room for a bit; crackers rather than potatoes; toast rather than crackers; to be cool; and to have Caleb nearby.


Caleb likes:
to crawl off on his own and then back to you so he can climb in your lap; to be held and walked around; to be sung to; to practice funny sounds with his mouth; to make silly faces; to drink from several different cups---each time with the hope that it's something other than water; to throw food on the floor (this is pretty much sick or not sick!); to sleep in his bed with Fante (his elephant); to be warm; and to have Luke nearby.

Hope the Barnett's are feeling better. What does Stacy like when she is sick? I think it is so dear that Luke and Caleb like to close when they are sick. Why is it that when children are sick, they are so sweet?

I LOVE this post. Your brevity says so much. Love your boys and glad (from seeing fall photos) that you're all feeling better.
