the mvp awards for this week go to...
silas lee. for ever so gracefully accepting an extra day of papa in his life. sam called in sick on wednesday after he and i were afflicted with an overnight case of food poisoning. it wasn't pretty nor was having a weekday with sam, silas and i nearly as fun as i had imagined. instead of video games, beer and daytime cubs games it was gatorade, pretzels and lots of napping. but silas took it all in stride, giggling like a crazy monkey every time sam walked into the room and happily laying with whichever parent was on the floor next to him holding a toy up over his face.
grandma ruth. for relieving sam on thursday and coming into the city on less than twelve hours notice. she kissed the baby, she sang to the baby, she pushed the baby on the swings - all so i could have another day to recuperate.
