Connor woke up around 11pm last night with some coughs.  Since then he seemed quite alert that he was having a hard time returning to sleep.  He was very cooperative and he really tried to sleep.  He tried a few times in his bed then we decided to bring him in to our bed.  He tossed and turned for a long time but was very good about not making too much noise.  Because of that, neither Stuart nor I could sleep, so Stuart suggested taking Connor back to bed and Connor agreed.  Not until after Stuart offered Connor some warm milk later, Connor eventually fell asleep.  This morning Connor looked tired and coughed a lot.  So Stuart decided to keep him from school yet another day.  Throughout the day, Connor’s cough improved.  Stuart was able to attend to urgent work stuff while Connor watched some TV.  Then they played with different things in the house and took a walk.  When I came home, Connor was hiding for me to find him, and he was in such a happy mood.  Tonight he was so energized and presented many “puppet shows” for us to watch.
