Pneumonia Siege, Raleigh House, Day 89: so Fans, here we are. This morning, Julie and Joe played with the container of green Play Doh that Joe got in his goodie bag at Marco's Halloween party. Julie made a pancake and Joe quickly said, "We don't make Play Doh pancakes! We make buttermilk pancakes!" Too true. Smart boy. Things pretty much went downhill from there. Ted came back from taking Berenice to the vet for her rabies vaccination booster, and we went on a wagon ride to deliver Sara's birthday card. It went missing along the way. So Ted took Joe to find it and make a phone call for work, and Julie went home to pump. She'd no sooner arrived though, then she saw the boys hot on her heels, Joe wailing in the wagon. So Julie rushed to take Wails McGee so Ted could continue his phone call and ended up sitting on the floor just inside the door with Wails flopped on top of her crying "I want Daddy. I want to go with Daddy." Julie just held on to him. Poor thing.*Eventually, he petered out, and then he wanted to watch for Daddy out the window and so we did. Ted came in after a time to change and head off for his afternoon of meetings. Joe didn't realize he'd left so we calmly rolled into lunch. Here was our lunchtime conversation:
Joe: "I miss Daddy. I love Daddy."
Julie: "I know, Palo. I know you do."
Joe: "When Daddy comes home, he give me hug. I hug Daddy."
Julie: "That's so nice of you Pal. I know Daddy would like a hug from you."
Repeat.
Our Hero now slumbers, no doubt dreaming of Daddy.
Oh, and in case you were wondering, the card remains at large. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SARA!
*Ted is now reviewing the day's posts. He reports that Wails McGee was crying in the wagon because he wanted Mommy. Go figure. Is this kid playing us, or what?
But look at how cute he is! Who could resist this face :)
