Cooper and I have head colds. We both developed the full blown symptoms earlier this week, and for both of us those symptoms seem to be the worst today. Cooper has a mild cough, a very yucky runny nose, and is a bit whiny and needy. I have a sore throat, sinus congestion, and either a badly clogged ear duct or a very mild ear infection on one side.
Luckily for all involved, there have been no fevers, no real misery, and only very minor disruptions of sleeping patterns. Last night Matt and I decided to give Cooper some ibuprofen in case he had a really sore throat like mine has been (you can't exactly tell with a little guy if he has a sore throat or not), and that was a great call. He fell asleep without a peep at 7:15pm, slept like a rock until about 5am, coughed and whined half-heartedly for a few minutes, then fell back asleep until 7:20am.
Right now he's napping, the poor dear. His little nose is all chapped from being wiped all the time. I'm going to follow his lead and get in some shut-eye myself.
