Sick Boy

Asher started getting a bit sick on Christmas Day and the days that followed have not been good for him. He's had a runny nose and a cough so he's not sleeping well and he just isn't himself. This morning he fell asleep around 10:00am while watching t.v. I had a pizza lunch and planning session with the YW at the church at 11:00am so I thought I'd take my boys for a bite to eat, help in planning the activities (since I'm the secretary I felt it important to be there) and get home as quickly as possible. Well, everyone was just enjoying themselves so it took a bit longer than I had initially thought. By 1:00 Asher was whiny and ready to go home. I held him while we finished up our planning and my poor baby fell asleep right in my arms. I enjoyed it while it lasted because that is so not like Asher. If he's not in his own bed, he usually will not go to sleep. We had walked to the church so I put him in the stroller to walk home and he slept most of the way. It took us almost a full hour because Ry was on his scooter and he'd stop every few feet to check out some patch of snow or a cool stick.
Later on this afternoon Asher fell asleep by the stairs. I guess he just didn't have the energy to go up all those stairs to get in his own bed! I scooped him up and tucked him in his crib where he slept for several hours.

I always feel so sad for my boys when they're not feeling well. I hope this passes soon.
