New Meds?

Could it be that the new medication actually makes Nathan sweeter than normal? Sometimes i wonder if his poor little brain just makes him so messed when not medicated, that he really can’t focus enough to do the things he wants to do….. like be nice to his sister. He’s not always mean to her, they get a long fairly well, but today he has been exceptionally sweet. Nurturing. Kind. Sharing his batman costume and helping her put it on - WHICH IS SACRED to him.
She must not be feeling well because she has gone to lay in her bed three times this morning; perhaps she just wanted her pappy for a while and knows she has to be there to have it. Anyway, the last time Nay went with her and covered her up. He turned her light off and brought a small basket of toys in there for “when she wakes up.” Then he went a got a bible book and read her a story. Finally, he pulled her little princess chair up next to the bed and sat down, saying, “I’m just going to sit right here with Emma so I can be here when she wakes up. I won’t even talk while she’s going to sleep.”
WHAT? He has such a precious little heart and always has. Maybe it is just easier for him to act on it when his brain isn’t all scrambled up? Or maybe it’s just a good day? Who knows. But I’ll take it. They are right now playing beautifully in the play room and have not been asked to stay in there… but they are. He is talking to her and lining out things for her to do… “first this and then you that… then this and then that…” And she’s smiling and eating up the attention she craves from her “big broder”.
In the meantime, I have gotten tons of laundry done.
