When you kids are sick..


I really have nothing to complaint about.. I mean, both our kids are in general, healthy and happy. But oh boy, when they are, no, even when one of them is sick, it's not pretty.

J had a fever the other night, I was pretty sure it was up to at least 41C. In fact I was concerned enough to take him to see a GP before my wife hassled me to. Needless to say it the GP said "it's likely viral".. and sure enough he got better after about 1 week.. The most memorable thing about the visit was... the GP described daycare as "virus factory"...

It's now E's turn. Although the runny nose only lasted for 24-48 hours, she grumpiness lasted much longer. I couldn't help but told my colleagues at work about it today. Among other things, I said, "I just couldn't understand why she would wake up in the middle of the night (x ?6), wanting to be carried and pointed down the stairs, and then back up to her room again". The response? "She just wants to show you who's the boss".................. oh well. Oh well.
