Another Sick Day for a Little Person

Posted by Jenn Greenleaf Mar 26, 2009

I’m looking forward to when all this sickness has passed through this house and leaves once and for all. It’s touched everyone, except my nephew and my fiancé, and seems to want to linger longer than usual. It’s frustrating because the household was staying well for so long . . . and then this new mutant bacteria or virus decided to invade. Ugh. I hate that.

I’m hoping he feels better later because we’re supposed to be making posters for family reading night when the others get home from school. Family reading night isn’t until next Thursday, but we’re starting now to ensure all three of the little ones have their posters completed – they’re very particular when it comes to their artwork, and I’m thankful to have this week to work with them!

They’ve been creating a lot of art similar to what you’d find in a graphic novel, too. It’s interesting because I was thinking my boys would be interested in comic books, like my sister, but they prefer longer stories. My stepdaughter seems to be picking up with the same interests, which interests me because no one in her family enjoys writing or art. I love it when that happens! Now, if only we can get my nephew on board . . . he’s fighting us tooth and nail about anything like that ever since we took over guardianship (actually, even before the papers passed he was fighting this). He’ll come around eventually . . . I hope!
