Jadzia has been dreaming for some time now to have a tea party with her baby sister. Jadzia and Inara had their first sisterly tea party today. Inara was more like a doll prop that annoyingly kept stealing the tea pot and used it to knock over all the tea cups and destroy the block cake. Jadzia was patient but the patience of a three year old wanes thin pretty quick. Jadzia gave Inara about three chances to straighten up her act before Jadzia decided Inara was best suited to playing with her toy cookie jar.
Jadzia's exact words were "Inara, if you can't play right you don't get tea. You play with the cookie jar." Inara happily complied as the lights and music of the cookie jar took her attention away from her tea party rampage. I had to give Jadzia props for refocusing Inara's energy. Jadzia showed she harbored no ill feelings when ten minutes later she wrapped Inara in a hug and stated "I love you baby sister. I'm just not playing tea party with you anymore." Such sister love.
Last night it looked as though Landon had gotten the flu. He was overcome with stomach pain as I put him to bed and shortly thereafter lost his dinner. This morning he laid on the couch and said he still didn't feel well. This appeared to confirm he had not escaped the flu but by bed time tonight he was back to himself. For now it appears to just be a coincidence. The carpets have been shampooed, surfaces sanitized and linen washed so I'm really hoping the effort was worthwhile.
Xander is still going strong and just had the cough for a couple of days. He seems to have avoided the flu and just caught a minor cold. I shouldn't be too surprised. Xander tends to have a strong immune system but he pays for it when he does get sick because it hits him harder.
I'm off to spend some husband time and watch a movie. Inara has started going to bed at a more reasonable time so we've been able to get back to watching our shows and movies with just us again.
