Sickies

For the past week we've all been sick with sniffles and sore throats. Nate's illness turned into a throat infection a few days ago and while he's slowly on the mend, Seth appears to be on the decline. Mommy is somewhere in-between, but mostly just exhausted after one too many middle-of-the-night wake ups tending to sick boys.

My current critical patient taking an unexpected siesta while "watching" Raffi this morning: 

And 10 minutes later he looked like this: 

Pitiful, but so cute I had to go in for a close-up:

 

Of course that wasn't my only opportunity today as it turned out. Seth between dinner and dessert tonight: 

And a few minutes later he looked like this: 

– Zzzzz...

He did wake up for dessert though.

Should be an interesting night!

PS. Following this post – and through much trial and error and "don't like it!" – I found a couple of DVDs that were a hit with my boys and that they now watch quite willingly which makes for a nice break for all of us. Raffi in Concert and Little Bear were the last two DVDs in my arsenal and it turned out they love them both.
