a lull

There's a feeling of a lull here right now. The weather is grey and cold. Grandma Bonnie has left. Uncle Will already dropped in. We are back to our regular routines and feeling a bit down. Marty missed Bonnie's cookies and walks; she has been sort of off and got sick with the gurgy guts and runs this morning - I think she is depressed. Eddie is still showing off his new trick that his Grandma taught him - blowing bubbles. Bonnie did it one night while Eddie was in the bath and since then he has repeated the skill every time he drinks his water out of his cup. It is hilariously cute but makes for a big wet mess. Lulls are okay though...a lull translates to a stress-free existence, and for me right now that is probably exactly what I need since I am recovering from a bad head cold. Once again it seems like I have gotten sick in order to protect my son; I keep thinking that one day he is going to awaken with the same stuffiness that I have and instead, thankfully, he arises bright eyed and bushy tailed, ready to play play play. He seems oblivious to the change of seasons - still wants to play outside all the time. We bundle him up in his new puffy coat - so cute. Can't wait to post some photos on the blog and share his new cuteness with you.
