Mysteries

Toddlers can be strange. Olivier had a high fever all night. Normally, I would have kept him home. But I had a solo-parenting problem: I had to get to work to set up a few things. I didn't have a problem taking him with me, but I had the car, not the car seat. So I had to go get the car seat. I wracked my brain trying to figure out how to do it, but there was no way around it: he had to go to daycare while i drove to get the car seat, install it and returned. Once there, though, he was top shape. He's done that a few times: bad night, and then once there, happy and healthy. His fever only returned at bedtime.

Meanwhile, I ran some errands, went into work, and came home to assemble some IKEA things. Once home, he liked what I had done, and even helped me finish off a chair. Yep: 18 months old and good with an Allen key. He spent maybe 20 minutes trying to work the key. Did you say adorable?
