Awesome Update

So it turns out that Awesome is one weird kid. He is like that smelly kid in class who always has a runny nose, is sticky, wears the same clothes everyday, and has lice. That’s right, has lice. Two days ago a friend of mine was grooming him and noticed lice. Lots of it. So I probably have lice as well. Never did as a kid, so this is a first. So yesterday we gave him a shot of something that is supposed to kill the lice, I bought lice shampoo, and we’re crossing our fingers. Today was spent, and most of my tomorrow will be spent, doing laundry, washing everything I own. Besides the lice, Awesome is still a pretty weird kid. In our new baby hok he plays quite well and is very brave, often running far away from me without hesitation. In the house, however, he never leaves me. I carry him everywhere, or he sits on my head, or in my sling. During the day and often during the night he likes to spend time on or near my head, scratching my face to hell in the process. I hardly ever know what he wants and I’m pretty convince that he doesn’t either. Don’t get me wrong, Awesome is, well, awesome. He’s a goofy kid but he means well and just needs some more time to adjust. Awesome and Orion are still getting to know each other. Since Orion doesn’t feel quite right because of his thrush, Awesome often tries to play with Orion, but Orion just tends to walk away. Awesome is okay in the shower. He clings to my left arm, which he often likes to do, and just closes his eyes as the water runs. Orion clings to my stomach, but he often scratches me, so I’ve adopted the technique of burrito-ing him in a blanket or pouch and placing him in the sink. Even awake, he seems pretty content.  Right now each kid is asleep on either side of me in the crook of my arms. Soon I am sure that Awesome will find his way to my head and Orion to sprawl himself on my stomach.
