A couple of my friends have updated their blogs after having taken a brief absence and I guess I should probably do the same. Lately I've been wandering around in a bit of a daze. This has been a particularly hard winter. I've been trying hard not to indulge in my desire to sit on the couch in a stupor because that tends to make a person feel worse. Sometimes I do it anyway. Last week Henry and I hosted playgroup. This forced me to have to clean the house which felt pretty good. After our long bout with colds last December, it had been a while since I made much of an effort to make the place look presentable, something you can get away with in the winter when no one is really venturing out of their own house to visit. It was nice to have a bunch of kids running around and raising a ruckus. It helps make the house feel warm and cozy and loud instead of its usual quiet.

Dave's parents are coming for a visit later this week. It'll be nice to have a shakeup in the routine, plus it'll be nice for Henry to have a couple of non-duds to play with for a change. I've told him a few times that they're coming but he just says "No they're not." I don't think he believes anything we say anymore, despite the fact that we've never led him astray. He'll be very excited when he sees them in person standing in his living room.

Today I have a doctor's appointment. I asked Henry if he'd like to go with me and he said "NO!" When I clarified that it was a mommy doctor and not a Henry doctor, he looked at me warily for a few seconds then told me that yes, in fact, he would very much like to go. Nothing gets my kid more excited than watching other people suffer at the hands of a doctor.
