H's stomach flu spilled over to S4 and me, so we've all been pretty miserable in the last few days. Kind of interesting that we ended up taking care of each other in small ways. I tried to make sure he had what he needed without any kind of smothering. It was hard to restrain myself as I'm pretty nurturing by nature, especially when it comes to those close to me. When I got sick, H checked in on me and asked if I needed anything. H also put S4 to bed - he hasn't been doing that lately. He asked how I was feeling a few times. Yesterday it was our S's turn to be sick and we both took care of him.
Random conversation this morning: S4 was telling me how he would love to have a dog. I told him some day we will and we talked about the kind of dogs we liked. I was talking about German Shepherds. Then H walked in and said that "If we ever get a German Shepherd, his name will be X". I catch him say things like that from time to time...when he says "we". I don't know if he's just slipping and says it out of habit, or if he feels that there might be a "we" in the future. I don't say anything or react, but I do take notice of these little things.
