Since the fever arrived after his nap the other day, Connor has developed more cold symptoms, runny nose and congestion, along with the existing cough.  He is still eating fine, but looking more flushed and tired.  We have been following him everywhere in case he needs a tissue for his nose.  Because of his illness, we had cancelled gatherings the past couple of days, and stayed home instead.  We did manage to take a couple of walks around the neighborhood to get some fresh air.  Logan did not mind being home as he ended up having more time playing with his new favorite Lego Batman XBox game. 

    Today, Connor seems more energized and less congested, but the runny nose and cough are still persistent.  I asked him to help me removing the Christmas decorations this afternoon, and he was glad to help.  While he was taking down the ornaments, he said suddenly on his own “Bye bye tree”.  So cute! 

    Lately Connor likes to place the foam letters into a very straight line on the bath wall and he tells us that it is Christmas light.  Today Stuart had taken down the outside Christmas lights.  At bath tonight, Connor removed all the foam letters from the wall and he told me “Christmas lights down, all done!”.
