today was sunny; Mason was not

Mason has been struggling with excess snot and it seems he might have a slight earache now. Last night he woke up and couldn't get back to sleep and ended up snuggling with me for the night. This morning he was still having a tough time, so I decided to stay home and enjoy the sunshine from here.

A while ago (because I was out of ideas) I asked Andrew if he wanted to mix some stuff and make something disgusting. I guess it was a hit because today he asked to make something disgusting. Sweet. And, just for the record, 'disgusting' is water, flour, salt, oatmeal, coffee beans and a lasagna noodle... :)

A recap of Mason's day:

A bit before lunch, Mason had a little meltdown and I couldn't get him to stop crying. I finally decided to sit him on the couch to see if he'd relax and it worked. Andrew told me he'd watch a show with Mason if he that's what he wanted, so Andrew took a spot on the couch and we turned on a show. Mason is still not at all interested in tv, so when he sat still for the show, it confirmed he wasn't feeling well.

Then he fell asleep.

And then he woke up happy as can be and enjoyed the rest of his night. Here's hoping for a good night and a healthy kid in the morning!
