Saturna

jah isaac hangs with a young woman named Brianne every thursday night lately. we are double-booked and family is usually either working or it is too late for them to hang with him. he loves Brianne, and i love that she pays attention to detail, telling me exactly what he ate and what his moods are, etc. i would love to have her more often but as you would expect of a good babysitter, she costs more than i can afford for more than anything but a last resort option.

isaac was up from 7am yesterday with no nap. he usually sleeps much later than that, but i made him get up and go to the doctor. then he was so delirious from his fever all day that he could not settle down for a nap. he was so busy! already he is at an age where his play is evolving with light speed. instead of just demolishing things, he is building things and enacting scenes with his toys. yesterday he was super-creative, i guess from the fever.

last night i left my gig as early as i could get away from it so that i could be back with him. i abhor leaving him when he is sick. he was already asleep, passed out on the couch with his jester hat and an old pair of shorts in his hand, which he was apparently using to wipe his nose after refusing to let Brianne do it with a tissue.

whatever makes you feel better, little buddy. i love you and i hope you wake up today with no fever and can actually relax a little bit.
