Andy is still down and out and Natty is at her friends house this evening so at dinner tonight it was just Jack and myself. I asked Jack to say the prayer over the food and he did an excellent job. He opened, gave thanks, asked for a blessing on the food and then went on to enjoy a casual conversation with his Heavenly Father. "It is the month of April and today is April fools day. I've done lots of fooling today..." and after that he went on to close. I love the fact that Jack just knows how to talk to Heavenly Father. He says exactly what comes to his mind without reservation and just tells him about things like they were hanging out. These little things that I learn from my children are wonderful. Having a casual conversation with Heavenly Father just to tell him about something as simple as April Fools day is not something I have really done. Jack is 100% real and it is neat to watch him and learn from him.
I spent the day with little Andy again today. He has been miserable for a couple of days. All he has really wanted me to do today is cuddle him and sing to him. This is my boy that usually yells at me to stop singing. Not today. No, he asked me to sing to him. This morning I held him for a good while and sang as many hymns as I could remember and then some I didn't remember. I surely mixed a few verses together as I tried to make my way through. The good news is that Andy doesn't know any better. To him the songs I sang were perfect.
It is not easy to watch your child as they feel miserable. I watched little Andys lip curl up and he got very emotional about being sick. We got a little gatorade inside of him and most of it has stayed. Nothing else has. Hoping we are coming to the close of this and am doing my best to take care of everything. I am being summoned by the little man to come lay down with him so I am closing.
Sure do love Natty, Jack and Andy. Take note, there is no fooling in that statement.
