Connor had a bad night last night.  At 9 something PM, he woke up from his coughing; we went to his room and offered water a few times, but the cough just would not stop.  I then remembered Robyn’s advice, honey, so I offered and Connor agreed to try it.  But once I brought in the honey, he did not want to take it.  After some convincing, he took a teaspoonful of it.  I held him in my arm for awhile and the cough finally became more tolerable.  He put him back down and returned to sleep.

    At some point after midnight, Connor woke us up with coughing again.  We paid him a few visits, and we at last decided to take Connor to the bathroom for some hot steam.  We were in the hot steam for several minutes, and then returned to his room for a bit.  The cough finally improved, and Connor went back to sleep in his crib for hours this time.

     At 6:11, Connor woke up again, but I brought him to our bed as I was not ready.  Connor was comfortable there and fell back to sleep.  But then, Logan called me, so I had to get up to quiet him down.  Once I returned to bed for a few minutes, Logan came out to use the bathroom for #2 which required some help.  I instructed him afterward to stay quiet in his room until the bunny was up (his clock).  However, this just meant a few more minutes in bed for me.

    During the day, Connor’s cold improved.  His runny nose stopped and his cough finally became slightly less intense.  His appetite was better today too.  We had previously planned to have a belated birthday dinner for me with friends tonight, but as we did not want to bring a sick boy out, so it was just me and Logan going out tonight.  Poor Peyton had come down with a cold too, so Dave stayed home with her.  I had initially chose a Chinese restaurant for a set dinner, but since the group became smaller, I suggested changing to a Persian restaurant instead.  Logan and I met up with the Changs, the Kaos and Robyn / Brandon at the restaurant.  Mckayla was so sweet and made a get well card for Connor.  We had a nice time chatting and had a great meal.  Logan had fun playing games on my phone and sharing it with Brandon too.  Thank you to all of them for a wonderful dinner!
