Elliott has been sick all weekend. To keep him occupied, and away from the other kids while he recovers and is still contagious, he has been watching shows in a room nearly continuously all weekend.
On Sunday night he is sufficiently recovered to join us for dinner. He eats a little, picks at the rest, and then suddenly bursts in to tears. He is inconsolable. We ask if he wants something else, fruit, crackers, juice, anything we can think of. He angrily just shakes it all off. We keep asking and he keeps crying.
Finally after much cajoling, he cries out, “I’M SO BORED!”
