February!

WA weather has been pretty normal. Days vary between totally cloudy and wet, to party cloudy. Nights can stay cloudy, keeping temps in the high 30's to 40's; or they can be clear and drop below freezing. Jim is at work this Valentine's weekend, so celebrating Valentine's Day will wait until next weekend.

Carson was a little bit under the weather the other day, with a low fever in the evening, followed by waking up with a bloody nose. Being the self sufficient guy that he is, he tried to handle the bloody nose all by himself. He found me, that morning, upstairs on my computer. When I looked at him, he had already cleaned up his face; but he had blood on his hands, legs, and PJ's. We went downstairs to the bathroom, where I was greeted by 4 hanging bath towels, each with a big bloody area on them. Carson informed me that he had blown his nose on each one of them, trying to stop the blood (and not knowing how to deal with a bloody nose because he'd never had one before). He had also bloodied his hand towel, cleaning up his face. I handed him a wash cloth to wipe up his legs and hands. After all was cleaned up and all the towels, PJ's and bloody bedding were in the wash, it occurred to me that, usually, in this sort of circumstance, I would have grabbed a video camera. I must be slipping.

He's well over his fever and bloody nose today, creating train cities on a 6' long folding table.
