Feverish

You probably can't tell on this video but both Makili and I have been suffering from some unknown virus since Friday. Our fevers have come and gone and come again. Makili was quite sick today actually, which I have to admit is no fun. I gave up trying to do anything else today and gave him my undivided attention, which for those of you that know me realize, is against my nature. I am a multi-tasker. I am trying to complete seven things at once at all times. Today I was worried about Makili and I made a conscious effort to focus on him, to make him comfortable, and to see to it that he had an okay day despite being too toasty warm for my liking. It was remarkably easy to do really and in fact I enjoyed the calm day. I read when he slept, though mostly I laid with him since he would wake so easily otherwise from congestion as to risk it. We played and walked around and I let him hold all his favorite objects - the phone, the cannopener, my mug (is he a future potter?)

Tomorrow I babysit, for a mom who also has the virus and who made an unplanned for visit to the hospital today in an ambulance. Even though part of me feels like Makili and I are still to sick, I know she is even sicker, and has three kids, god help her. So Grandma Ann is going to hang out with Makili tomorrow and I won't get to meditate on single-mindedness or simplicity, but instead chase three healthy kids around and practice multi-tasking again.
