Smelling the Love

Pryce is sick AGAIN! Poor guy, he complained to me on Tuesday of a sore throat to which I replied he needed to get some rest. Wednesday morning he complained of horrific stomach pains. I decided to keep Pryce with me as Wednesday was to be a big day for us. Mason-Kate and I have been planning for months to travel to SC to meet a Dianjiang friend. David, who was adopted in May from Dianjiang, China, is just two weeks younger than MK. They spent the first 5 or so months of their lives in the orphanage together. All is well that ends well, Pryce was able to spend time with G-Mom (who graciously accepted the job of spoiling the sick one with a Happy Meal that he "never gets") and MK and I were able to spend time with David and his mother, Mara. It was a great visit and we were so excited to finally meet them in person. I went to pick Pryce up and there he sat with the thermometer in his mouth. I honestly thought Pryce wasn't exactly being honest about feeling bad. I thought he was scheming in order to get a free day from school. Well, today I had to apologize to him. We went into see the dr. and the dr. confirmed that he does has strep throat. Blah. He is still so cute though. I have been worried about his food/liquid intake as he hasn't eaten a thing since his Happy Meal yesterday. I offered him junk cereal this morning that he denied. So, I brought out the real ammo and offered him a Bojangles biscuit. We went to Bojangles and as I gave him the bag with the biscuit, he held it close to his nose and said, "Now I am smelling the love!"
