Sick

Collette woke up sick that morning. Most of the day she tried to keep Puck happy while resting, and also tried to avoid getting too close to the chubby, who was always willing to dish out a cuddle to his mama.
By evening, Collette no longer had the energy to keep up with her happy baby’s trail of endless creations. He had set up a diaper system on the couch, rolling up and stacking a bag of new diapers in bunches together. He was very proud with his efforts and smiled lovingly at his mom from time to time during his playtime.
OLeif returned from work to see to things, bringing a sub sandwich and a chocolate cookie for them to split.
And Dad had returned from his week in Iowa.
