Well, a Happy New Year to everyone! It was a very tame New Years at our house this year - in fact, by 8:30 PM on New Year's Eve, we were all down for the night, reading in separate rooms. I came down with strep throat and spent 4 days quarantined in bed. The mister was a champ and took care of AKP all weekend.
I have no idea what they actually did or where they went but I heard peals of laughter come up from the living room on more than one occasion, observed that he got her to sleep (to sleep, yes!) at 7:15 one night, and from time to time when she thought he wasn't looking, my little girl poked her head into my room to say hi, furtively looking over her shoulder to make sure he wasn't coming up the stairs to shoo her away from the sick room. She popped in to announce she was coming upstairs to get her PJs. One time, she closed the door quietly saying 'shhh, get some rest Mama. Daddy and I are going to have dinner now.' Another time, with much commotion outside the door, she managed so push a Polly Pockets doll under the door for me, and yet later she surreptitiously delivered a drawing of a bird under the door.
Despite my misery, it was indeed a good New Year. I was on the mend from a sickness I knew would be temporary, and I have a husband who is a most incredible father and a sweet sweet girl that is ours. A wish to all for a year of good health, peals of laughter, and a little sweetness.
And a healthy and happy new year to you too, mother of my most precious granddaughter, who obviously knows how to take care of her mommy.
