Nathan and Will have been battling a mild cold since Thanksgiving and a couple of days ago it turned into a cough. Yesterday Nathan came home from school with almost no voice and today he sounds like a preschool version of Rod Stewart. So much so that we had to cancel our fun playdate with Darren and Cole, whom he hasn’t seen in ages but will thankfully get to see this weekend at Darren’s birthday party.

Will is getting better and doesn’t seem to have as much drainage coming out of his nose but he, too, has a cough. Both boys are full of energy though and no fevers so I think it’s something that will thankfully just pass. Another reason I don’t like the weather this time of year. The upside for them is that even though they are both phlegmy and hoarse, they’re getting as much juice as they can stand right now.
