Guess what happens when you go to school? You meet lots of germs. Today I had my first fever and had to stay home for some TLC from Mom and Dad. I was just really sad and wanted to be cuddled most of the day.
Dad stayed home from work with me in the morning while Mom went on her job interview. He took good care of me and helped me feel better.
My fever only lasted one day, and the next night I was back to my old happy self, smiling and playful again. Mom said I was the toughest kid she's ever met.
Mom and Dad have been working on the house, and are proud to say it is (finally) feeling like a home. My bathroom is finished and I love it. I am going to take my baths in there soon since I am almost too big for the tub in the kitchen sink now!
The guest bedroom is ready for visitors, too, sans toilet! Mom and Dad laugh at their "progress", because it typically means that they are just moving junk from one room to another... as in, the Bonus Room. Sure, they still have plenty of work to keep them busy.
Dad is still on edge about all of the surprises that come with living in this town. For example, termites. This is our neighbor across the street getting tented for termites. They had to move out for 2 days while a toxic gas was sprayed inside. Sounds fun...
Once you know you have termites, you have to act fast around here because the colony usually has SEVERAL MILLION of these bad boys destroying the wood in your house. Here is an example of what the termites did to our house during their last visit.
Our neighbors don't get too excited about termites, the same way they shrug off all of the hurricanes. They said they had a "tent party" 8 years ago when several of the houses on our street had to be treated. Then they laughed and told us we could come to the next party since termites hit on average every 7-8 years. Mom and Dad weren't laughing. I wonder if Mom could find me a cute stuffed termite to go with my teddy bear?
