An exercise in self-control.

Caleb is driving me CRAZY! Everything that comes out of his mouth is a whine or a fit. Intellectually, I know that he is sick and doesn't feel good. And perhaps I am deficient in mothering genes, but I CAN'T STAND THIS ANYMORE!!!! We have to stay home again tomorrow because he had a fever this morning, but the rest of the day his temp was normal and he was a PILL. Of course, the days that Scott had him (Mon./Tues.) he was listless and slept most of the day-not a hint of the beast he has become since then!

On the bright side, we did complete three puzzles (punctuated by "I can't do it!" every time a piece didn't go in on the first try), we played with an alphabet toy and talked about letters, read books, and we went to the bank and the library (quickly, just to check out books). He put on his own clothes and cleaned up his Legos with help. He also lassoed the banister several times and played with his cars.

Right now, in order to preserve what is left of my sanity (and there ain't much left, let me tell you!), he is watching Veggie Tales on the "'puter."

There has never been a virus that knocked him out like this one did the first few days. There has also never been a virus that turned him into a bipolar fiend. Let's hope we never meet this one again!!

Poor Caleb! And poor you. If VeggieTales stop being exciting tomorrow, try this one:

It's sesame street video clips. Handy when you run out of other things to do.
