Wednesday, December 05, 2007 What Goes Around ... Goes Around. While Kira, then Parker, then Jeff get obviously sick, I've been feeling slightly under the weather, but fending things off reasonably well. Until today. Right now, it hurts to talk. My throat doesn't hurt per se, but if I continue talking, it'll get more sore. So, as the kids are playing with toys, asking me to come play with them, my attempts to play silently are met with disdain. As I tried doing it without talking, but he keeps saying, "Say this, do that, go "awwwhhhh-urrrgh!!"." Even when I started playing Christmas music, Parker keeps asking, "What song is this?" -- "Deck the Halls" -- "Sing it, Mama." -- Touches throat. -- "Please sing it, Mama. Sing!!" Now, a little earlier, Parker and Kira were playing together; Kira was a sick baby pig, and Parker was Dr. Wyatt (our pediatrician). Parker/Wyatt asked Kira/baby pig, "How's your asthma? Are you hungry?" They continued to act out Parker's most recent visit/hospital stay. A friend shared that it is good that he's acting it out, as it means he's processing the whole thing. ------------------------------------------------
