We spent about 3 weeks taking turns being sick around here. We each had our turn with a nasty stomach virus. I was attending to the non-stop needs around the clock. I washed more towels, sets of sheets and underwear than I usually do in a whole month. Jadon was hit the hardest with it and he was vomiting for about 1 week. He is so skinny already and the virus left him weak and tired for a long while. This week I can truly say Jadon is back to his normal spunky self. The swords, daggers, guns and costumes are out again. I never thought I would hear myself saying "it is time to put the weapons away now" or "no swords in the kitchen please". My goal was to reflect on cultivating joy in the messy moments of real life. I should have written more about that cultivating process over the last few weeks because they were literally some of the messiest days we have had! :)
