FINALLY

Sick kids suck.

Really sick kids REALLY suck.

Viral illnesses that you have to ride out, are the worst of all. The nightly (okay, hourly) moaning and groaning of discomfort, the "I know you really need a hug and you want to sit next to your sister but you're contagious," the sore throat so bad that he just stopped talking for a while (and by while I mean 2 or 3 days), the physical effort of eating & drinking enough sustenance to meet the minimum weight requirement of the new booster seat...

Pile on top of that a teething little sister whose nightly interruptions are also almost hourly, but about 20-30 minutes off of his cycle...

Needless to say, it was a long week.

But now, he's back, and making up for lost time. As quickly as it arrived, it seemingly was gone.

Back to school tomorrow for his first day as a Genie (a month early), out with the old and in with the new, no-more-brown-bagging-lunch-I'm-going-to-eat-school-lunch-now-that-I'm-big!

Hey, a deal's a deal.

Oh, and by the way, little sister is almost 6 months old...!!!
