Screw you, cold virus and your despicable timing to ruin holidays.


Sorry for the need to vent, but this will be the second Halloween in a row that my four-year-old son is out sick. Started having cold symptoms two days ago and we tried to kill it with love, sleep, soup, and warm honey teas.But last night it launched its full attack and my son spiked a 102 fever and has a nasty cough. Woke up three times last night crying, coughing, and feeling miserable.It's just about the exact same schedule as last year.He's been bouncing off the walls about Halloween. It's by far his favorite holiday and trick or treating at preschool has been all he talks about in the mornings for two weeks now. The moms got together and planned costumes for him and his buddies from class to go as superheroes. He's got a pretty gnarly Spiderman costume that he's worn every afternoon since we got it.I'm dreading him waking up this morning because you know he's not going to understand not being able to go.So far illness has kept us home on:Christmas 2013 (first Christmas)Spring Break Beach Vacation 2014Thanksgiving 2014His Birthday Party 2015Halloween 2016Thanksgiving 2016And now Halloween 2017.I'm putting him in a bubble before Thanksgiving and Christmas this year. via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/2A2Fbex
