Slumber Party

This is Kate's first night away from Maceo. She has gone off to San Francisco for work, leaving Wednesday, coming back Saturday. Maceo and I are on our own! So, Wednesday afternoon, I get a call from daycare that Mace is sick and I have to come get him. Well. That puts a damper on boys' night in! I go and get him and bring him home, and the rest of the afternoon is essentially spent with me on the armchair and Maceo just limply lying on me. He slept pretty well through the night, but because he had had a fever, he was not allowed to go into school the next day. Truthfully, it seemed his whole face was leaking Thursday morning--rheumy eyes, runny nose, and drool. He's a good-looking kid, I swear. Very luckily, Mami was able to come over and watch him for the second time this week. According to her, the day was spent sleeping for 3 hours, eating applesauce, and insisting they go outside. Here's hoping that tomorrow, he's able to put in a full shift at school, and then I can put in a full shift, too. Also, here's hoping his cold is in retreat, and he feels better!
