Charles was feeling badly enough from his dental work to stay home from school today. Mom told him he couldn’t go electronic and he still wanted to stay home. I did relent and let him fire up the Wii at 2 but he spent the rest of the day laying on the couch, except for lunch. I tried to get him to out because it was such a beautiful day (25°F, overcast, snow flurries, and wind gusts up to 53 MPH, i.e. wonderfully brisk — does it get any better?) but he was a slug.
