Quiet Day at Home

I had a great night sleep last night and woke up better for it.  I went to bed almost as soon as Levi did and sleep until about 6.00am when he woke up.  It was a slow get up for him too.  He wanted to snuggle and chat rather than jump to his feet as he usually does.  It may be that he felt my relief and relaxation.  I still hurt a little but it isn't anything to write home about.  I suspect even that will be gone in the next day or so. 

Today Levi wanted to learn and learn and learn.  We did about an hour of Mathletics.  He wrote lots of words out.  We did workbooks and reading.  He was unstoppable.  I am very glad that he wanted to do sedentary activities today as well.  My friend from work, Mim, came out for the morning to look after Levi so I could zone out and have a rest.  It was such a lovely thing to do.  It made all the difference.  She did the running around type things and I just supplied the things to do.  My work mates had made a little care package as well.  Some funny things for me and a few things for Levi as well.  I can't believe I am so lucky as to work with them all.  So Mim took Levi outside a few times to blow bubbles and blow off a little steam, but really most of the day he stayed inside.

Tomorrow we are going to see the movie 'Hop' and I am hoping that we will make it through the whole movie.  Levi's track record is poor.  He can watch DVDs without any problem but the big screen seems too much for him.  3D is definitely out, but even 2D movies tend to be too much.  He doesn't like the scary bits and won't watch after it gets scary.  I try to explain that if he waits long enough there will be resolution, or in his words "It will get better", but he won't wait that long.  So I don't have a lot of faith that we will make it through 'Hop' regardless of how non scary it is.
