Home sick today

I'm not the one who is sick this time. Hootiebird is home ill and I'm the parent on duty today.

He spent last night in bed with me while Whuffle slept in his bed. He tossed and turned all night, meaning neither of us got much sleep. This morning he got up, went potty, took off his pajamas and climbed into his own bed.

"Are you trying to go back to sleep?" I asked.

"Yes I am. Good night Daddy."

Poor kid.

Caleb will remian out Friday

Caleb now has a fever of 100.8. Since, like me, he normally runs about 99 this isn't much if a fever, but combined with his lugubrious disposition, lack of energy, and miniscule appetite it spells "no school Friday." Whuffle will stay home with him in the morning, with her Father coming by later in the day so she can head into the office to wrap up payroll.

He's spent his day being cuddly and taking naps.

The kid is so tired he turned down chocolate.
