"A white noise machine in the corner echoes the sounds of the forest. Your carpet is soft like moss, your bed made of driftwood by a very kind elk. Almost everything is handmade and delicate. Of course there's room for your favorite toys too and a collection of terrariums on a shelf."
I know I canโt always be there, and I know I must worry you sometimes. But I promise taking care of you is one of the highlights of my day. Youโre a good kid. Thank you for your kindness and patience. I hope we can still have fun together, regardless of what happens.
โญ๏ธ Good days and Bad days will always look different, but regardless theyโll do their best to keep things cozy and fun.
โญ๏ธ Bring them their cane when itโs too far away.
โญ๏ธ Going to the doctors office together, you get to sit in the waiting room playing with toys, while they go back for their check up.
โญ๏ธ On good days, theyโll take you to the movies. Something fun for the both of you, but low energy enough to not risk a flare up. We can bring our blankets and plushies, and even sneak in some snacks, shhhh-
โญ๏ธ However, when theyโre not feeling good, and they canโt do much. Youโre always welcome to spend time in their room: We can color, watch a movie, listen to an audiobook, or have naptime. Just keep things low energy for their sake.
โญ๏ธ Letting you decorate their pill organizer and cane. They got stickers and you have your creativity.
โญ๏ธ Reminding them to make their medicine and fill their water bottle, and then asking you to do the same.
โญ๏ธ Helping them in the kitchen, cooking comfort foods, and eating together to make sure weโve both eaten. Even if itโs something simple.
โญ๏ธ Helping them restock their bedside cart with essentials, and getting a snack of your choice in return. And maybe a gold star.
โญ๏ธ Setting up a cozy chair next to their bed for you. So they can read to you, watching shows with you, and just hold your hand and listen to you talk about anything.
โญ๏ธ But on very bad days, when you canโt visit, you make get well soon cards and drawing. Bringing them over when you can. And seeing their face light up knowing they were being thought of.
โญ๏ธ Having window time, just cracking the window for fresh air and listening to nature together. A small moment, but a very important one.
โญ๏ธ Holding their hand wherever you go to keep them steady in your own way.
โญ๏ธ Walking slower than normal to make things easier for them. It just means you get to spend more time together.
โญ๏ธ On bad days, just laying around and watching the celling projector together. Maybe some music in the background.
โญ๏ธ Though after too much inside time, they take you on a little adventure, maybe the mall, the grocery store, or just anywhere to feel less isolated. Even for a few minutes.
โญ๏ธ But the most important thing, get well soon hugs. With your cozy hugs, just maybe itโll make things a little easier.
โYou made this for me? Oh my goodness, I- I donโt know what to say. Thank you, thank you so much.โ
โIโll be okay, you go play, Iโll be here if you need me.โ
โRemember to drink your water okay? Do you need any snacks?โ
โItโs just a check up, Iโll be out soon.โ
โThank you for being here bubba, i really appreciate it.โ
I had the idea that Kris regresses in the middle of class and ends up just leaving for whatever reason (accident, scared, or just needs snuggles). They spend the rest of the day in mamaโs class (:
Kris ABSOLUTELY hangs out with Mommy in Kindergarten when they are having a 'quiet day'
