I admit it, I totally scrapbook for myself. I love being creative, shopping for paper, embellishments, all of it. But today, I had a new reason to continue.
CK stayed home from school today. He had been coughing all weekend, but since we had gotten some meds from urgent care yesterday, I figured he'd be fine, and convinced him he would be going to school. I also try to make staying at home as unattractive as possible, so it doesn't become a habit for faking. LOL I told him last night that if he was home today, there would be no playing, no TV watching, NOTHING. Just laying on the couch getting better.
He slept awful last night-tossing and turning and coughing up a storm. I got up at 7 to get him up, and Giang, who ended up staying with him in bed, convinced me to let him be b/c he was FINALLY sleeping. And they all slept til 9-even Ethan. But I couldn't go back on my word. NO TV.
You realize that only hurts me, right? LOL
Well, b/c there was no tv, both boys came upstairs with me and laid on our bed while I took a shower. CK entertained Ethan the entire time. and after I got out and was getting dressed, I saw CK disappear to the hall. A few minutes later, he came back from downstairs, carrying a scrapbook.
He climbed up on the bed, and said to Ethan, "Ethan, do you want to see me when I was a baby? Do you want to look at my scrapbook?"
And proceeded to show him. :)
And this makes me want to scrapbook every picture I ever took. :)
But back to the no tv-He tried everything to get it. "But Mommy, if I don't watch tv, then the tv will be doing NOTHING." Nice try, kiddo.
New tactic. "But mom. If I just lay on the couch, and no playing, but the tv is on, that IS doing nothing. See? Isn't that a good idea? I'll just watch tv and do nothing."
LOL got to admire the persistence. :) I promised he could watch tv
after we came back from his 2:00 doc appt. And then he asked if he
could watch spongebob on my phone at the doctor's office. LOL It's not tv if it's on my phone, right? LOL
CK is a great big bro. This is how I found the 2 of them one morning this weekend. I got everything ready to feed ethan, and then had to run to the kitchen for something. Ethan started fussing, and CK grabbed the bottle to help. :)
