Out Sick

I stayed home today due to a cold.

When BH got home from school, he was very eager to take care of me.

I was bombarded with an orange, two apples and a box of tissues.

When it came time give me orange juice, he hurriedly brought me a cup of the stuff.

I did find it puzzling that he was drinking it before he handed it over and when questioned, I received the following reply.

BH: I have to try it first.  That's what nurses do.  They taste it before they give it.

Oh.

Perhaps I should have asked for some credentials?

Dirty Subways

Boobey is sick again and this time we may have to blame the subway. He went on it for the first time on Friday to have dim sum in Chinatown.

This was the third time he has had dim sum and I might have to finally accept the fact that he may not like it, which saddens me.

This morning he awoke and told his mommy, "head broken. Ambulance."

Headaches suck, it's true.

Still Sweet, Even When Sick

Boobey's had a fever for the past week. He went to the doctor yesterday and admist crying due to fact that he was in a small room with a doctor, he still managed to be polite.

H1: Boobey, say bye bye to Dr. E.
Boobey: ::bawl bawl:: Bye bye ::bawl bawl:: Tank ooo (thank you) ::bawl bawl cry cry::

He was sleeping when his fever came back last night, at which point H1 had to wake him.

H1: Honey, you have to wake up because you have a fever…
Boobey (sleepily): Hot.
H1: Yes, honey, you're hot…
Boobey: Medicine?
H1: Yes, honey, I have to give you medicine
Boobey: Drink?
H1: Yes, honey, I have your drink right here.
Boobey: Tank ooo

This morning when I saw him, he had his paci in his mouth and I told him, "Okay, you're going to have a day of play with Grandma today! Hopefully no more fever. And when you see the cats say hi to them, alright?"
He looked up the stairs and said, "hiiii, braaowww (that's what cats are and that's what they say, apparently)".
"Yep, say hi to Pumpkin."
"Pumpkin, hiiiiii".

It makes me a little said that he says Pumpkin so clearly now.

Currently listening to: "No Way" by Korn.

Sneezy

I forgot to mention it but at some point this week when he was sick, he had a runny nose and he almost rubbed it on his Momma. H1 said to him, "Don't rub your nose on me! Go rub it on Grandma."

Well, let's just say he certainly listens.

Grandma could do nothing but thank him but I'm sure she wasn't thankful to H1.
