Lydia in quarantine Clarissa playing with a very patient Basil. At one point in the day Clarissa was crying because Mary and Ammon were tired of playing with her. (She can be a bit…bossy.) I invited her to make rice krispie treats with me and suddenly Ammon and Mary were happy to be in her company. Lydia is smiling beautifully even though she was so miserable. She was feverish and her stomach felt abnormal, but maybe the originality of being isolated was kind of fun (at first). The kids have turned the dining room table into a coloring station. I can’t wait until the basement is done and they can color there, but until then it is fun to see them at work. Mary has been helping Ammon draw and color. I think this was a joint creation.
