Sick Day Blues

I'm home with Evan today as his trip to the pediatric emergency room last night allowed us to spend an extra day together today.  He came home from daycare yesterday with a temperature of 100.8 and a cough that would choke him and bring up mucus.  Lovely.  2.5 hours and a chest x-ray later, they told us we needed to stay home with him today to monitor his fever and cough in the event it turned in to something more serious like pneumonia.  Visions of Sean's stint with pneumonia crept back in my mind.  I'll stay home with him!!!!  An extra day with my baby!  Heck yes.  They really didn't need to twist my arm with the threat of pneumonia. 

With my sub plans submitted last night when I got home, I was preparing myself for a night of horrible sleep and a crabby baby home with me today.  Instead, I was pleasantly surprised to find my cutie pie in a decent mood with no fever this morning.  A trip to the pediatrician this afternoon confirmed that he was in the clear for pneumonia and most likely had his first virus - ahhh the joys of daycare!

So, what better day to spend cuddling on the couch with my baby Evan than a rainy one?  I decided to grab my camera and see if I could capture just how funny he is with all his facial expressions when he's in a talkative mood. Which, just like his mommy, is all the time.  This is what I imagine he's thinking as I clicked away...

What's this big black thing in front of my face?  I'll tell you how I really feel about it.

Oh yeah...I think this device is kind of interesting.  I guess I'll play along mommy.

What's a matter?  Never seen spit bubbles before?

Fine then.  I'll put them away.

Ooops!  I just can't control myself.  Drooling is so much fun.

Moooommmm?!  

This having a cold stuff is no fun.

Oooo change of scenery!  I love these shiny, bright toys in front of me!

Oh boy, oh boy!  I love when mommy shakes the toys and they make all that noise!

 Is it lunch time yet?  No.  I guess I'll just munch on my fingers for a while then.
