Just as the weather turns bad again James gets really sick. He was running a fever and had a nasty cough. He was coughing all the time. All through the night, all day.... it was never ending. The poor kid. There were a few days when he wanted to do nothing but have me hold him. It was a great snuggle day. Eventually Spencer got sick too. He was coughing but not as much as James. Brian brought home a thermometer... one that run across the forehead to get a reading. James thought it was a great toy and got very good at taking his own temperature. I think he was sick for a good 2 weeks. It was not a fun time. Lucky for us we had visitors for some of the time. My parents came down for conference and brought my aunt from Australia. James was content to go shopping with my mum and I which is always a treat. He also took a great liking to Paka... or Kaka as James would say. Now that my parents have headed back north I am not sure what my kids will do. Spencer is already asking why grandma doesn't come over anymore and James walks around asking for Kaka. It might be time to plan a trip North.
