Well, so far half of us have covid but we’re doing ok. It is indeed a logistical nightmare and with only two adults to go around, we can’t keep the boys from being exposed. It stinks.
E: my heart is pounding big.
Me: {asks all the medical questions I can think of, takes temp}
E: {all answers are unconcerning}
Me: What do you think your heart needs?
E: I just want to cuddle you.
Me: Ah. Do you think your heart is hurting a bit because we haven’t been able to cuddle since I have covid?
E: I think so.
Me: let’s put on our masks and keep our faces away from each other and cuddle.
{Long time cuddling}
Me: so how does your heart feel now?
E: mmm…good.
Me: do you think that cuddles is what it needed?
E: probably. I’m so tired I could just fall asleep on your lap.
Me: go ahead. Sleep.
E: I think I’ll take a bubble bath first.
We got the boys’ work packets from school. It’s reminding us of homeschool last year but SO much more manageable. Zooming with their teachers is definitely a highlight they look forward to.
Everyone has felt good enough to play outside a lot.
Elias created this building. It’s a throwback to last year with rotating toys, getting creative, and fighting boredom. We’ll hit our groove eventually.
The day Logan was diagnosed I made five dozen of our favorite breakfast muffins and stocked the fridge and deep freeze with food because I figured it was a matter of time before I got it. I did. And Lewis too so far. I assume we’ll emerge from quarantine in November.
