Chris had to go back to work last week and we’ve been mourning the loss of daddy ever since. ;) For the first several days Asher asked where Chris was, why he was at work, and how soon until he’d be home (at 9 o’clock am that was still a lot of hours to wait!) I have really missed Chris and the extra help. It has been nice getting back into a little bit of a routine after two weeks of ‘fun’ though!
On Saturday we took advantage of our Children’s Museum’s ‘early hour’ for members. We were allowed in at 9, before the general public at 10. It was so great!! In some exhibits (like the dinosphere) we were just about the only ones in there!!
Asher LOVES the children’s museum and asks to go about every third day ;) so he was thrilled and even more excited to have daddy come along. It was their final day for the Jolly Days (Christmas-y stuff) so the guys enjoyed one last ride on the Yule Slide until next year…
After 3 or 4 weeks of no church nursery Asher was reunited with his nursery buddies at MOPS on Thursday and then again on Sunday during church. Unfortunately we think he picked up the flu bug at either church or the museum and by Tuesday afternoon he was SICK!! :( It truly broke my heart to see him so miserable. Chris hurried home from work (on his birthday no less) to help me clean up. At one point in the middle of the night when Asher got sick and needed new pj’s and sheets he looked at me and said, “I’m sorry I do that mommy.” I could have just cried! We told him over and over not to be sorry and that everyone gets sick. I think it made him feel a little bit better to know that even mommy and daddy had been sick before. Daisy swooped into action and spent lots of time right at his side snuggling him.
The next day he quickly discovered the one perk of being sick – unlimited tv! I think we’ve both watched enough cartoons for a few weeks! We’re praying that Jesse stays well and that somehow Chris and I escape it too.
Poor Chris’s 31st birthday got a little bit overshadowed by the Stomach Bug of 2012!! We did bring him cupcakes - from a cute cupcake bakery in Carmel - at school that day (before I knew Asher was sick). And as luck would have it, Chris had to help a child at school get off the bus after she had gotten sick everywhere. NO ONE should have to deal with that much grossness on their birthday. He definitely gets a re-do next week. :)
One REALLY funny moment happened the next day. Chris and I were up off and on a lot of the night with Asher so we were both walking zombies the next day. He was half-way through a meeting when he realized he was wearing a suit and his SLIPPERS!! Ha! :)
