Firsts

Baby Ellie has her first cough and runny nose. Yes, baby has her first cold. We had a rough night last night, but she just got up from a nap and is smiling and hiccupping, but when she sneezes, you'd better watch out. Her cough is small and cute, but pitiful.

The Muffin and I are also sick and I'm trying to decide about sending her to preschool for the Thanksgiving feast tomorrow. I spend lots of time trying to decide whether or not she should go to school even though I know that someone was there sick last week. The Muffin told me that as certain child was at school with a cough and a yucky nose. As a former preschool teacher I put so much thought into the whole thing. Of course, The Muffin has been bouncing off the walls, but she sounds bad when she talks and has a little runny nose and a slight cough.

What's worse than having a sick child????

Having two sick children.

Needless to say, my thoughts turn to all of the parents out there who have really sick children.
