Sick Again........

Oh the frustration.  For me.  And I think for Mark as well.  But he's sick again.  Fever, congestion, coughing, and sneezing.  Ah well.  Hopefully the frequency of illnesses will decrease when he isn't in school everyday.  He's had years when he's gotten sick frequently but this year has topped them all.  Hopefully, like the migraines, something in his hormone surges is at the base of this.  If so, then as things settle out he won't get sick as frequently.

But it's been a good day for him, with medicines.  So he was able to point out the correct number for today's date.  And he's been enjoying both strengths of theraputty.  Interestingly enough, he has been picking the blue putty today rather than the green.  His fingers must need the workout.  He makes the most fun designs with the strings of putty.  And then he'll press it all out and start over again.  And he laughed at me when I pulled out an old set of puzzles.  They were toddler puzzles and he had them done in under a minute.  And then he pointed to rainy when I asked him what today's weather was.  (One of the puzzles was weather.) 

Earlier today he was bouncy and runny.  I was on the receiving end of many hug collisions as he ran around.  And a few attempted pigback rides when I was close to something he could climb on.  Good fun and big grins all around!

But now he's settled and seems to be getting a headache.  So going to do lights out with him and see if some calm time won't handle the headache before it explodes.
