Last night after you went to sleep, I could hear you tossing and turning and moaning and groaning, so at 11:00, I went to check on you and you had a fever, so I woke you up, gave you medicine and put you in bed with me.  You could not go back to sleep, so you watched TV with me for a little bit and then I finally could not stay awake any longer, so I handed you the IPod and I fell asleep.  I woke up about 2 hours later and you were still awake!  I couldn't believe it!  I have finally decided that it's the cold medicine I have been giving you that has been keeping you awake at night.

You and Triston both stayed home from school today and you played and played all day while I was working.  Triston made up a restaurant and was the waiter for you and me for most of the day.  We also put together a puzzle you both got for Christmas, but it was a 3-D puzzle and it was awful!  The colors were really hard to see and we all ended up going cross-eyed!  You kept saying, "why are the pieces changing?  And you got pretty frustrated, as we all did!

You have been reading the Dick and Jane book and for the last couple of days, you have changed the way you read.  You figure out the entire sentence in your mind and then you read it out loud really fast and then you say, "I can read fast".  Such a character!
