iain was so sleepy this morning, and i was convinced that it was the first day back at his kindergarten. so we got up, quarrelled over breakfast, and got dressed. went to school and nobody was there, so we had the day - one last day- to ourselves. drove to longmont and met nasus, traded in a trex that was very cool but very not worth the money, and iain bought himself lots of ben 10 toys. he is so excited by ben 10 - he can really resonate with the character concept, and likes to pretend that it could be him. we stopped by his old daycare to see his old best friend, joey. it seemed good, but i could tell that things had changed. kids who loved iain were surprised to see him, but not really attached, as though they already knew how to be distant with people rather than feel the pain of their eventual loss. we then got groceries and came home. iain headed out to our open space and i eventually followed him, and we went sledding. it was very fun. then i brought iain back to the house in the sled, and it really wore me down. i was coughing for hours afterward. guess i'm not as healthy as i'd like to be. after a good dinner we curled up downstairs and watched an episode of the avatar, then iain took a bath, i read him a story and we went to sleep.
this morning he was really angry about having to go to school, and refused to eat. he eventually ate a piece of toast. we had to drive around the school for awhile because the snow was too deep to park in, and he got inside the building about fifteen minutes late. he wants me to pick him up again this afternoon early to go sledding. i'm a little nervous because it was such a hard journey there and back, but we'll see what happens. maybe i can just take him over to the rec center hill instead. at least when you get up that hill you're right at the car instead of having to hike 1/4 mile in 14 inches of snowpack and powder.
