Nicholas is sick today. Nothing horrible, but a virus of some sort that has caused a fever and our little boy to just be a little off. The fever means no daycare, so we've been improvising a bit today. Joe took him to the doctor because he was pulling on his ears and we wondered if he had an ear infection. Nope, just some virus. The doctor was able to see that his throat is red and so probably bothering him. Between that and the fever we've been trying to get Nicholas to drink extra, with little success. The one thing we've been able to tempt him with is the very rare treat of chocolate milk. Nicholas looked skeptical at the first drink, but after the second sip proclaimed it "nummy nummy."
The upside to this is that at least his timing is getting better. Our new insurance cards arrived in the mail yesterday (all of about 2 hours before we first noticed the fever), ending our insurance limbo of the week and our fear that it might be a couple more weeks before the limbo was resolved. Whew! Also, it is Friday so hopefully he will only have to miss one day of daycare this time around. And although Joe and I each had commitments today, it was a day where they could be easily juggled and worked around. So while I'm by no means happy Nicholas isn't feeling well, it could be much worse.
Two cute (if touchingly pathetic) stories of sick Nicholas. Apparently this morning Nicholas spent half an hour just lying on the floor of the living room. Poor kid. He has had more energy this afternoon and even played quite a bit, but about half an hour ago he picked up a blanket, brought it over to where I was near the door to his nursery, and said "night night" and waved. So I helped him into his crib for a nap.
