Sam the little man has the flu bug. He has been sleeping all day. Yesterday, Sam's sitter, Kendra, called me to leave work early because he was not doing well. I came home and comforted him until 5p when Grandma Jean got off work. She stayed with Sam until 9p. I returned to work, everyone else had other Friday night plans. Thanks Grandma Jean - and Happy Birthday - we will have to share cake another day....
He remains sick today and has slept almost all day. Dan the man was on a golf trip with his buddies in Indy and just got home. Daddy is holding Sam now. He does continue to drink fluids, but it has been awhile since a wet diaper. He won't even look at food. Say a prayer for little man, I told him I would rather be sick for him.
I did mail off the dossier yesterday to Denise Hope - she will take it to the consulate for authentication and send it back to us. I sent the documents UPS, I got to the counter and there were 2 men behind me. It took awhile to get all the options straight for our shipment and the gentlemen were soooo patient. I thanked them and the clerk when I left. I love it when an encounter with strangers is so positive - it is encouraging.
I got some laundry and more adoption papers done today while Sam was resting. Hope he feels better tomorrow.
