sicky

both kids are sick. z has had a cough since two fridays ago, and he's had a fever the past two days. last night he kept coughing & gagging. we finally gave him steroids at 5am today because his cough turned croupy. after his nap today, his temp was higher than 103. it was close to normal at bedtime after doing ibuprofen/tylenol, staggering them every 2 hours. i kept z home from school today, and we'll skip gymnastics tomorrow. z has TWO humidifiers running in his room. we've been doing a lot of tv & movie watching. i look forward to steroid rages in the coming days - it's always been a bit delayed. today his behavior wasn't too bad. he was really excited because i let him stay dressed in his pajamas while we visited the starbucks drive thru (mommy needed coffee). he was really excited before going (because i promised them both a small vanilla scone) and was shouting and yelling, so s started getting really excited and bouncing up and down, and giggling. so cute!
no pics for today. off to bed.
