We did our best to make the kid feel special today. He came in at 6:04am and informed us of his own magnanimity in sleeping in until six ("which is how old I am!"). He was awestruck by all of the crappy decorations we strung up while he was sleeping last night, and he tore right into his presents. Most of the day he spent in his room doing his new Lego Hogwarts Express set. In the afternoon, I bent my otherwise iron laws against video games and introduced him to (in his words) "Sonic the Chipmunk." He was instantly addicted, and we had to tear him from it after about half an hour.
James picked the cuisine today. Breakfast: chocolate chip pancakes with maple syrup and whipped cream. Lunch: bagel dogs. Dinner: frozen pizza. Desert: ice cream. Ugh. With a diet like this, it's gonna be a struggle not to pack on the ol' Covid 19, am I right?

We had a surprise visitor today. Uncle Tommy came by for his godson's birthday, claiming to have misunderstood Erica's request not to visit because we're, you know, quarantined. He didn't stay long, but did bring by two kid-sized outdoor basketballs for James. I don't know if his visit sets us back to Day 1 on the quarantine, but we decided 'no' since we've already started, and we'll keep extra vigilant on Day 15 to see if we don't get a fever.
