Still Sick

I took the day off from school/work to be with Anthony because he is still a little sick. He had been fever-free for two days, and then spiked another temperature this morning. Today is his last day on the antibiotic, so I'm hoping that one more dose will be enough to kick this.

Anthony decided that the most important thing to do today was to play with his train set. So I helped him put together the bridge and he said, "You can go do something else, Mommy. I'll take it from here." Excuuuuu-uuuuse me!









The cat (Alexis) is trying desperately to act bored with the whole set up, but she can't help herself. The train fascinates her. She's sitting on a chair near the tracks, and any time the train comes near her (meaning within two feet), she reaches out a paw and swipes at it.

Mark will take off the day tomorrow so that Anthony can recuperate. The biggest thing I'm noticing about Anthony being sick is that he's still got a good bit of energy, but he has to stop and take breaks. He'll play with the train, but then he lays down on the blanket I put near the train and watch the train go around and around. He takes about a five minute break after about 15 minutes of playing.

I hope he's better soon. It's breaking my heart to listen to him cough to the point that he's almost sick.
