Who says it's no fun being sick? I stayed home with Bo today because he has a nasty cold with a ferocious cough. The stomach bug is also going around his class at school so I thought I would keep him out for 2 days and hopefully by Monday he will be feeling better and his classroom will have been hosed with Clorox. So today Bo and I watched endless episodes of Dora and Diego and also the movie Madagascar while playing with his lion, tiger, bear, elephant and zebra animal figures he got for Christmas. I also tried to be the cool mom and set up his tent for him......yes, there is a reason why guys always do this sort of stuff. I mean, it wasn't that hard, but I just didn't really know what I was doing and with a 2 year old, not only do you need to know what you are doing, but you need to be able to do it very,very fast! My patience was wearing thin trying to get the poles through the tent, Bo was trying to help me (meanwhile almost poking my eye out and his) the dog was sniffing around and trying to climb in the tent that wasn't even put up yet.....but yes I persevered through it all!!! So who says being sick is no fun.....we had lots of fun today, just Bo and Mommy.
Funny Bowen-ism: Bo likes for me to count to 3 before he does anything, so tonight he wanted me to count for him before he raced his cars. So, I started counting in a funny voice like the count does on Sesame Street and Bo started shouting: Mommy count softly, count softly Mommy!!! He is a funny kid I tell you.
