Rio that is, not Tashi. But here she is this morning; I wanted to a) have her stop clutching me and b) immortalize the look—the skirt is a Nina Ping hand-me-down but she hasn’t worn it much, yet, and the hair is by husband. (She’s with her teacher Miss Dee.)
I got a call Tuesday afternoon saying Rio had a fever of 101 F and that he refused to get up from his cot after nap (itself remarkable and a sign something was off). He’s also had a scary-sounding cough (but not unlike the one that other kids in his class have). Two other kids got sent home early that day! We skipped playgroup this a.m. though he seemed better, especially after I gave him Delsym (a cough suppressant) that the pediatrician okayed.
Rio spent most of the day clinging to me or playing with the mini Automoblox Santa got him for Christmas. After much effort we even made it outside to use the slide and play my new made-up deck game, which is to run the length of the deck, touch toes to the edge, and run back again. What’s more, I got him to say “ready set go” in Chinese (please write in the comments what this should be—I could be wrong!). But, no photos. After rain on Monday and temps in the 50s all the snow is pretty much gone.
And here is Yoshi the other day. The cleaning lady had just been through and I went upstairs to put something in Tashi’s room, and found Yoshi sitting right in the middle of the newly made bed.
