Sick, not sick...bleh

Kate was sick today and stayed home. High fever, she slept a lot. When she's sick, she kind of just crumples up into a little ball, wails when she's awake, whimpers in between. I held her for a while on the couch, though I also felt awful, so she watched Rudolph...and the Grinch...and....   Gave her cereal for dinner and put her to bed. Am hoping she's better tomorrow, because her day wasn't much fun.

Jack feels GREAT, which he reminds us of every 5 minutes by leaping and dancing around. "It's almost Christmas! You don't know what it's LIKE to be a little boy just before Christmas!" Uh, actually, Jack, I do. It's pretty awesome. Anyway, Jack watched the Harry Potter movie, and I watched some with him; not bad really. Holds up well. Love the Wizards Chess scene. We played Parcheesi, I sort of let him win for a change, and put him to bed. Before bed we watched a little of the "Brian 'O' Barley Bowl" or something like that, which is apparently a college bowl game currently sponsored by some chain of burger restaurants. We were watching these commercials for huge burgers and steaks and I felt bad that I'd only had cereal for dinner. Anyway, Jack was in a goofy mood, so when I expressed awe over the size of the burger in the commercial, and elaborated on the elements (burger...bacon...and cheeeeesse) somehow this struck Jack as the absolute funniest thing in the world, and he was totally cracking up. Every time I said cheeeeeesse, peals of laughter would follow. It was pretty funny, and a good note to end the day on.
