Sick Day :(

Today Jackson had to stay home with Daddy for his first real sick day - not a milestone I was looking forward to. Then again, we're lucky that this is the first time! He shared germs with his cousin this weekend and ended up with her yuckiness. It seems worse than a cold after he first wakes up, and his breath can get pretty wheezy and he coughs pretty hard. His body is warm, but his temp is not that high. It's hard to know whether to take him in or leave him be. I don't know how much they would be able to help him at his age, and his demeanor, though more worn-out, is still generally good. Now, on top of all that, I think he might have pink eye! Of course Curt the Calm says he's fine and that I worry too much - which is probably true - but on the other hand I think he's overly lax about some parenting issues. We debate and seem to go round and round in circles and it can be so frustrating! It helps to know that we are not alone in our parenting struggles, and I always know that both of us have Jackson's best interest at heart, no matter what. Hopefully my sunshine boy is back to his old self in no time.
