This past weekend, we went to watch Notre Dame play Navy. We had great tickets on the 50-yard-line (nosebleed seats, though!). We also took our six-year-old son to see his first college football game, and it was so much fun, despite the deluge of rain that hit us in the fourth quarter (and despite the fact that Notre Dame almost blew a twenty-point lead in the last 4 minutes of the game). My boy amused me when he saw the Naval Academy students marching out in their units with their dark coats and white hats. “They look like dominoes!” he informed us. And they sure did.
When we got back to my folks’ house, my daughter was asking suspicious. Her behavior was both whiny and off-the-wall. I should have guessed that she was about to get sick. Sure enough, the next day she had a sore throat and looked like a big bag of miserable. I’m keeping her home today and hopefully she’ll get enough rest and TLC to pull herself back together.
The one thing that I’ve noticed about illnesses in my kids is that whenever I think, “Oh, it’s just a cold/flu/virus. It’ll go away on its own.”–it ends up to be a week-long plague that morphs into strep or some other illness requiring antibiotics. Whenever my child looks like he/she is on death’s door, it turns out to be nothing. I almost dread the pediatrician’s office, because I never know what it’s going to be.
How is your household managing? Anybody fighting the sniffles?
