On Saturday morning, I noticed that Daniel was sneezing quite a bit, had a runny nose, watery eyes, and sounded congested. My worst fears were realized; my poor little baby was sick! My thoughts ranged from concern for Daniel to scorn for the other babies in the daycare who passed their germs onto our innocent little Daniel!
Daniel didn't seem to mind being sick but Tary and I were still worried. We took him to the pediatrician's office just to be sure. They weighed him (15 lbs, 4 oz.) and the doctor checked him out. She reassured us that it was just a cold and that he would be fine.
By Sunday, Daniel seemed to be doing better but Tary and I definitely weren't feeling well. I can't remember who told me this but he said something similar to, "Once your kids start going to daycare, you'll never feel healthy again." Truer words have never been spoken.
I was still feeling sick on Monday so I had to call in from work. I hate calling in sick because I always feel guilty. Many people abuse their sick time and I pride myself on my own work ethic. But when you're really sick, you have to rest and Monday was just one of those days. Thankfully Tary has Mondays off so it made it a little easier to take care of Daniel.
Our little Daniel is such a tough little trooper. He never complains and you would never know that he was sick save for some congestion. I wish the same could be said of his Daddy. I could use a bubble bath...
