Two little firefighters. Two sick little firefighters. Coughing, runny noses, ear infections, headaches, zero energy, more coughing, cough induced vomiting. It was not pretty.
But we did it. I experienced a new low of motherhood: having to keep you kid home from fun activities that he has been looking forward to because he is too sick. The Boy missed the pre-school Halloween Party where they get to go trick-or-treating to classrooms at the high school where his daddy works. And he had to miss his tumbling class party and another day of pre-school. So there was no way I was going to deny him this little bit of joy.
It's also tons of fun to go to the docs on Halloween...everybody is dressed up! Our Dr. had mysteriously turned into Iron Man. (although I'm not sure The Boy knew who Iron Man was, but he does now.)
This one loves his pumpkin full of candy. So much he carries it around. Everywhere. Surprisingly he doesn't just eat all the candy in it...he just likes to take it out and put it back in. In and out. In and out. And he will ask me if he can have a piece. Thank goodness there wasn't that much candy in there to begin with and it is almost gone!
Update: The boys are better, but the parents are now suffering.
We just had to do this once before we cut his beautiful hair off.
