Dustin has been sick for the past couple of days. He had been acting as though he felt better until last night. He decided that sleep would be optional last night, and unfortunately Otto and I were not the ones who got to choose whether or not we got to sleep! We tried everything!!! Finally, Dustin decided to go to sleep. . . .only to have Caroline come into our room 2 or 3 times. . . I kinda lost count after the first time because I sent her over to her daddy!! (Yay for Otto!!!)
So today we have been reaping the rewards of our fabulous night and we are all tired, and cranky. For some reason I think that Dustin must be getting better because all he does is cry. . . or is it that he is getting worse?? He doesn't have a fever any more, but that doesn't mean he isn't still sick. Otto, Caroline and Dustin all got to stay at home from church today to "rest", but coming home, I think that I was the one who actually got the break. My poor son hasn't stopped crying since I walked in the door. Maybe if I feed him something he will stop crying.
On a brighter note, today at church they were talking about missionary stories and ways that the kids could do missionary work. It made me remember about 6 months ago when the kids learned about giving away Books of Mormon to others. They were taught that they should share the Book of Mormon with somebody that they loved. At the end of the lesson, they were each given a Book of Mormon and challenged to give it to someone that they loved alot and that they think would want to become a member of the church. Abby took that to heart, and that night she walked right up to my Grandma Lee and gave her a Book of Mormon and told her that it was from our church and that if she read it that my Grandmother could learn about Jesus. It was probably the most adorable thing I have ever seen. . . even though Grandma Lee is a member of the church. I was so proud of her.
Well, in this whole time that I have been writing, Dustin STILL hasn't stopped crying. . . I had better go see if I can help in some way!

Hope you get some sleep! If it's any consolation, my kids always get grumpier when they're starting to get better (cause they're too sick to let me know how grumpy they feel at their worst ;) Hoping Dustin is on the mend - if not, he can come join Brady in the land of grumpiness ;)
