Out of Commission Continues...

I'm not sure what is worse--being sick or seeing your child sick (and cleaning up the mess:). Poor Haddon got sick yesterday afternoon with the stomach bug and Brian came home with it too. Brian seems to have the less debilitating version--he got up and went to work-- but Haddon is very lethargic and somber with his eyes half open. So sad. Thankfully I have energy to take care of him. We have been thru a lot of toilet paper this week!:D Please pray for little Haddon, Brian and that Kai won't get it! Corban is feeling better too.
On the Lighter Side...
As Aunt Kristin (Tia) pointed out, little Haddon is a brave boy for closing the door on the roach:) I don't think he is afraid of roaches yet. When my hero arrived home he fought the ugly flying roach in the bathroom and won!
Kai has reached the ago of "NO". He now does things that shouldn't be done--and intentionally repeats after being told no over and over. I knew it was coming but it's always such a shock when your sweet, precious baby suddenly turns into another person! He's even throwing tantrums...isn't that supposed to happen later?:D He still flashes that sweet smile though.
Brian had his first train experience this week. He took the overnight train on a business trip to Chennai. They left at 11:30pm and arrived around 5am both ways. He said he slept great. Although he sleeps great anywhere:) His cabin had 3 levels of seating...two beds one on top of the other (bunk bed) and seats under the beds. It was an a/c cabin. I think there are different priced tickets...seats (no bed), beds with no a/c, beds with a/c and probably deluxe accommodations. He was able to visit with a friend/professor from Texas A&M who is teaching Microfinance in Chennai for 6 months while there.
In non-significant updates...i've discovered text messaging:) I am quite technologically lagging as stated in previous posts. But I really love this! You can "talk" without talking--perfect:) I just need to become a little more proficient on the shorthand. I think it's really cheap to text here--lets hope!:)
