Last night was another night of poor sleep for Connor.  He woke up at 10:30pm from a cough spell.  Stuart tried sitting him up to sleep to avoid coughing, but it was unsuccessful, so we put Connor in a steamed room for awhile and did some suctioning.  He did not want to go back to his crib, so we finally agreed to let him sleep with us.  The rest of the night was on and off and he started coughing again early morning.  Other than the cough and the runny nose, Connor was doing ok.

    The school had their annual spring breakfast this morning.  I happened to have a day off from my regular busy clinic today, and so it gave me the opportunity to take my time at school.  Logan enjoyed some pancakes and Connor had some watermelon while we sat in a circle with a few of Logan’s friends and parents.  After some chit-chatting and eating, the boys were ready to go play.  Logan and his friends immediately went to play at the structure; Connor followed their lead and enjoyed his chance to play at the big kids playground.  The cute thing was that Logan and his friends were all very kind to Connor, helping him up or giving him hugs at times.  As more people arrived to the breakfast, the playground became more crowded, so I had to keep even closer attention to avoid Connor being run over by bigger kids.  Logan and his friends were playing with a few kinder boys; they were getting wild, running after each other.  Finally it was time for me to go, so I took Connor back to the toddler playground and said bye to Logan.

    I arrived at the dental office in good timing even before Stuart did.  Stuart and I happened to have the same date and time for our appointments.  Stuart was there for dental cleaning while I was there for the implant follow up.  After the appointment, I went to work doing some projects.  It was fun going to a different site and catching up with other coworkers. 

     At 3pm, I received a call from school to report a fever of 100.8 for Connor.  Apparently he was very tired before nap, not eating much of his lunch, then slept for almost 3 hours.  So the teacher decided to check his temperature as he was looking more flushed too.  The teacher did say that Connor was still in good mood.  I arrived school before 4pm to pick both kids up.  Connor was looking well as normal.  After we were home, we played in the front yard for awhile and took a walk; then Stuart and Logan took off to go to the gym class.  Connor and I decided to eat dinner first.  Connor had his usual appetite; we had fun playing while we ate.  After dinner, we played with puzzles, blocks, then we returned to the table for some fruits.  When the other boys returned home, we all sat at the dining table again for Stuart and Logan to eat this time.  We played after dinner briefly before bath time.  The entire evening, Connor never felt warm and was doing well.  His cough was still there, but slightly less frequent.  He went to sleep well; hopefully he will not wake up coughing again.
