Lucas spent the whole day in LucasLand today.

I woke up this morning ready for the usual battle to try and get Lucas through the School Door by 9am.   This is a Battle, there are various stages of the Battle that have to be fought daily, in order too - and to be honest, we are actually getting better, and the Battles are getting easier, and our name is NOT appearing as frequently as it used to in the Late Book - so... that is obviously Progress - Yay US!!! Yay!

This Morning? however, was a different matter.    Lucas was awake, Marcus heard him coughing, I started the morning battle, noting that the time was winning this morning... had to readjust my battle plan without trigging a meltdown...

Lucas then appeared by my side, quiet, listless, and pale..   Hmmm.... little voice said - "I was sick this morning.... "  Mummy voice then checked him over and then had a little lecture, asking for descriptions etc, was this a story? or was this true.   It was true. He had bright red ears too.

Lucas has spent the whole day on the sofa - in a lethargic state - in LucasLand! - I checked on him several times, and tried to play with him, but the shutters were down, and the laptop was open, he was in LucasLand.   He came out of LucasLand occasionally when he was hungry - as there is no McDonalds in LucasLand - but quickly went back.   He was happy.

He is having an early night tonight.   

He missed his tennis lesson - he was quite upset about this, but understood he was not well, and it would have been a wasted lesson as he had no energy today.    He will use twice as much energy  up on Monday.

I asked him what the weather was like in LucasLand today - he said nice and warm - with a cute smile :)

While he was in LucasLand I was able to watch Juan Monaco reach the 3rd Round at Wimbledon - a great match! - with 2 great commentators too - They really did call the match without any anecdotes about how wonderful they (the Commentators) were - and they stood up for Monaco when the Umpire got the rules wrong - A good match - a great result!! 

On balance - today was a good day - if a sick child day can be a good day.
