Even Firefighters Get Runny Noses

Ryan and Lucie (and Chris) have been trading illnesses for the past week. It started last Thursday with fevers, then moved to coughing and now runny noses, watery eyes, aches and pains.

Lucie has had a few symptoms off and on, but nothing like Mr. Ryan. The poor guy has not been himself these past few days. He's fallen asleep twice on my lap during story time, and has had no energy for anything but weak calls for "Kleenex, please!" from the couch or his bed. I really feel for him.

With Ryan feeling so yucky, Lucie has been experiencing all the benefits of being sick, with few of the icky side effects. She's enjoyed Sesame Street marathons, toast for breakfast, lunch and dinner, plentiful "Daddy" juice, and endless bowls of ice cream. This sort of stuff doesn't happen every day -- but for now, she'll have another scoop of Neapolitan, please...
