Sleeping Beauty

Wm was a sickly dude yesterday. I asked him what felt bad and he went "EVERYTHING!" But, he slept until almost 9am today - which, may be, the latest he has ever slept!! And when he woke up, he was feeling much better! I think he'll be good to return to Clubhouse tomorrow.

Steve texted at 8am to ask how Wm was feeling and this is what I sent him back:

I kept going in to make sure he was still alive! 

I have also discovered a great way to get Wm to eat!! He has eaten better the last couple days than he has...ever. The trick is multiple small courses! Wm does great with small bits coming at him constantly. So, for instance, tonight we are having mixed veggies with Ranch dip, then a cheese plate, then salmon with rice, then fruit (then dessert for Wm). I found that I can present Wm with a bunch of fruit, add a squirt of whipped cream on top, and he will eat the entire bowl! I'm telling you...I'm figuring this kid out. 

Wm finished The Martian the last night of vacation. So, when we got home, he had nothing to read. He was all upset, so I scanned our bookshelf (which is really light since I got the Kindle). I had been given a free copy of a book OSU was considering for it's common read. It was a book selected to challenge college-level readers, but the inside cover sounded interesting. So I gave it to Wm and he's breezing through it!! He loves it! We are heading to the library today to get some more things so he won't run out when he finishes. Wm loves to read...but good luck getting him to talk to you about the book. He is a mix of me and his father, that's for sure!
