Internal sunburn sunset

No one ever told me so much stuff could come out of my nose. Yuk!

The internal sunburn effect did not occur today, even though I did not take analgesics. That's a relief. Yesterday I drugged and napped, and got by. Today neither, and still.

The sweet baby girl is on antibiotics now due to her cough. She was very upset at bedtime and I stepped in to relieve the mommy. And, may I just say, when it comes to hard-working dedication to her children, that woman is it. I am amazed at how much frazzling she can take in the course of a single day. But anyway, this time, the girl told me what songs to sing, and when to put her in the crib, and when to pet her back. And when I left the room there was no crying. Yay, Daddy!

So the plan is to do this on alternating nights, the wife and I switching off between the two kids.

My boy reads exceedingly well. Even more so than in the recent bragging I did. There's this story about Amelia Bedelia, and he could read it very well, though neither of us had read it to him before. He did need help with some words, but I was amazed at all the tricky words he didn't need help with.
