griff time…
Mike’s dad and his wife are in the state for their annual holiday visit, and I’m sick. Typical, huh? Steroids and antibiotics are making me less sick as the days pass, thankfully. We were all supposed to go to Chuck and Stacy’s for a fun day, but instead I stayed home to rest. Mike had Griff stay home with me to make sure that I rested.
And it turned into a really lovely day. I’ve rested and taken my meds. And Griff and I have sat on the sofa and watched a marathon of one of my favorite shows (Buffy). Griff and I spent tons of time alone together when he was little before Eliza was born. Mike was gone a lot working on his doctorate, and it was just me and Griff most of the time. Now that he’s older, we don’t do much together just us. And this day of Cokes and jammies and vampire slayers has been really super.
I know that as he gets older, time alone with him will get more and more rare. And so, for this moment, I am grateful for a day in which he and I got to hang out and just be.
Despite the meds and the cough, I think today has been a really super introduction to twenty-ten.

That does sound like a very nice time. (aside from the being sick part)
I like to try to get a day (or at least a few hours) alone with each of my older kids every now and then.
Hope you’re feeling better!!
