Down on the snot farm

The great coughing debacle of 2009 faded out just a short while ago. Today, Cooper woke up with a tiny bit of yucky stuff in the corner of his eye, and I noticed that his nose was slightly runny. Nothing out of the ordinary. I kissed the boys goodbye and went to work.

Matt reports that by mid-day, he had wiped the kid's nose about 5,000 times. Sadly, Cooper refused to eat lunch, and then woke up early from his nap "plastered in his own mucus." He sneezed throughout the evening after I got home, and he has sort of a glazed look.

Looks like we have another cold in the house. Let's just hope this one passes without too much trouble and doesn't create another evil lingering cough. Perversely, I'm glad that it started on a Friday, as this means we have all weekend to sit around, read books, talk about doggies, and not have to take any sick days to watch the little bugger sniffle.
