So What?

So what if it's a dreary, rainy day.

So what if we've been stuck in the house for the last four days...

except to visit the doctor. Three times.

So what if Matthew has pneumonia and an ear infection.

That can't stop the smiles around here!

There has been fun in the tub...

Fun in the rocking chair...

Fun doing puzzles...

Of course lots of fun with trains...

Fun with books (about trains)...

(Do you see a trend?)

I'm so thankful my boy has been happy and smiley

even though he obviously isn't feeling well.

I'm thankful for medicine and a fabulous doctor,

and I keep thinking of how so many mothers

around the world do not have these things.

That must be so hard.

I'm thankful for television and Thomas the Tank Engine movies

that entertain this two year old

at two in the morning

while he is being nebulized.

And I'm hopeful that this will be the last sickness

for quite a while!
