For a while now, we've been sick around here. I first started feeling under the weather two Wednesdays ago, and now, almost two weeks later, I'm still tired and congested. Craig returned from a business trip that Friday and promptly came down with it too, to the extent that he actually stayed home from work for three days last week. Isaac finally succumbed over this past weekend, but thankfully only seems to be a little bit sick (although unfortunately it manifests itself as irritability and clinginess).
It was nice to have Craig at home, honestly. For one, it took the combined energies of two sick adults to cope with one healthy toddler. But even when sick, Craig is an incredible caretaker -- he still grocery-shopped, cooked, cleaned, and rocked Isaac to sleep. What a man!
After spending six days in a row with both parents at home, Isaac was a little disappointed to find Craig gone this morning. As soon as he woke up (in my bed) and turned his head to see Craig's vacant pillow, he asked me, "Where did Daddy go?" After I explained that he was at work, Isaac said, "I don't like that."
Me neither.
