Yesterday Jacob said he wasn't feeling well so he stayed home from school. We have had a lovely stomach bug going around so I took him seriously. Since Jacob wasn't acting too sick I had an appointment to get my badge at the hospital I decided he would tag along. Sometimes you have a moment without planning it and this day was one of those times. We headed up to the hospital to get my badge. Jacob was thrilled to see the hospital (its a new big one in my area). He loved seeing where I volunteer and hearing about it what I do. I volunteer in Parent Support at the NICU. In fact we have a Mom I am visiting now who is expecting Monoamniotic twin girls, like mine. It is so fulfilling and healing to be able to help people who are going through difficult times. After we got my badge fixed Jacob and I ate breakfast in the cafe that overlooks the mountains. As I was sitting there I was overwhelmed with how special it was to have one on one time with him. To talk freely to him and hear all his thoughts. He is such a openly loving child. It was really a treat to be with him. Oh and don't worry we did not visit any babies or sick people, wink.
The day turned sour for him when we got home and he found out staying home sick meant he could not play with friends. He told me it was the worst day ever except the part where he got to have breakfast with me with all the doctors. Oh well staying home from school can't be all fun. This year loosing him to first grade has tugged at my heart strings so much. I will have to create more dates like this.
Jacob wanted to try taking a picture. This is outside the Women's center. I like the perspective of him looking up to me. His point of view is different and it captures that.

The view of my face is quite silly, but it was a good memory of us together.
