Colder Temperatures Again
This morning I checked the forecast and it was going to be colder today
so I started a fire in the wood stove. Cooter has a problem, maybe he
was hit by a car, or maybe just a stiff neck, but he can't move very
well. There are no signs of injuries, but something has happened. He has
been this way a couple of days. When we let him inside, he can't hardly
lay down or raise or lower his head. After letting him inside this
morning, Trevon asked me for a cookie and I told him to wait till he ate
breakfast. I started fixing french toast, and I rang the bell when it
was ready. I scrambled the rest of the eggs and gave each person a
little bit of eggs. Stacey, Trevon and I ate at the counter, while Linda
took her plate to the other room. Trevon said he didn't like eggs, but I
told him they were good with a little syrup that was left over from the
french toast. Hmm, he tried them and when I reminded him he could have a
cookie after he finished the eggs, he gobbled them down. I gave him a
glass of milk to 'dunk' his two cookies in and he was in 'cookie
heaven'. I then sent him and Stacey to brush their teeth after finishing
breakfast and I said they could play when they finished brushing. They
had Hot Wheel cars and Legos, and we could hear them scratching and
rustling through those for several hours while they were watching Disney
movies. Lunch was hamburgers and french fries that Linda fixed. It was
about the same, I had to make deals to get Trevon to finish his meal,
but he did. We've noticed Trevon is asking for white milk with his meals
and saving pink milk for snacks. Maybe because I said we might run out
of pink milk??
Later in the evening, since Stacey and Linda had been reading books
to Trevon, he decided to set by the stove and 'read' a book to Missy.
He can't really read yet, but the story sounded good to Missy as Trevon
was getting warmed up after his evening bath.
