tis the season ...

... for sickness. ick! Max had a fever just under 103 for 24 hours. He barfed once. He didn't eat a single thing. He did drink a little juice (gotta keep him hydrated!). He took a nap (unheard of for him these days). He snuggled in our bed and watched movies all day.

And then all of a sudden, he was fine. He took a bath. We washed the blankets to rid them of germs. He sat down to dinner and wanted chicken nuggets with ketchup (i know - gross!). I figured if he would finally eat it would be what he could handle. He also ate soda crackers and lots of soup. Then he went outside to play for 5 minutes. And I guess that is the 24-hour bug for a 2-year-old. Now - I'm hoping nobody else gets it.

That was a very kind bug for you. Once in awhile a very short sickness that makes my kids lie still for a day is almost nice (minus the throw up part). And it probably increases their immune system and I am always so grateful when I know how miserable the sickies can get...
