Ringing in the New Year with croup

I hadn't had a New Year's party in a few years, so I decided now was the time to try. My son has been consistently sleeping through the night for awhile, and friends were willing to travel. Son goes to bed and friends start to arrive for a night of catching up, food, and games.10:30pm: telltale croup cough comes out of my son's room. He's mad that he's awake, which of course makes the croup worse. Fill the humidifier, snuggling ensues.Midnight: Rocking my toddler as he starts going back to sleep, I can hear friends celebrating in a different room. While croup is terrible, it isn't all bad: I was able to ring in the New Year with all my favorite people, including my son.Happy New Year's fellow parents. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2QdjUci
