Michael was sick again this Friday and Saturday. Luckily he was much better this morning. That poor little boy seems to have all the rough luck when it comes to health. And I just noticed today that Carly is almost as tall as he is! Scary. But he is such a good boy! When I asked the kids to clean up their toys and other miscellaneous messes this morning, Michael got right to work and did pretty much all of it by himself. William, meanwhile, pretended that he was trapped on a footstool and Carly went into the bedroom to take a 'nap'. Which conveniently ended as soon as Michael finished cleaning. I've been giving them a small allowance when they do chores though, so Michael was still happy because he got some and they didn't. (William was NOT happy. He said that he had picked up every toy in his reach and put them into the boxes when Michael brought the boxes to him.)
Unfortunately, because Michael was sick most of the weekend, that meant we had to spend pretty much the whole weekend cooped up in this small little apartment again. This made the boys extremely happy, because it meant they could play all the video games they wanted. Which also means that poor little Carly was bored out of her mind. So I spent a good deal of time reading her stories, and playing various incarnations of games such as Slamwhich and tickle Carly. At one point this morning she was curled up in my lap and said: "Daddy, you are silly." So I asked if she was silly, yes, is William silly, yes, is Michael silly, yes, is Mommy silly... And I quote: "No, Mommy is important." Well, there you have it!
