The night before Hyrum's third birthday last week he started coughing. He woke up and started crying so Derek and I went to check on him he seemed a little warm but we were too tired to connect the dots. On his birthday he woke up with a fever and continued to cough throughout the day.
He looks like a Jedi in this picture to me! :)
I told him that he needed to relax on the couch and made him up a little bed. Then I let him watch anything he wanted. But he still insisted on having his race track on the couch to play with.
At around 2pm his fever was around 103 and he didn't want to eat or play. I gave him Tylonol and he slept and slept. Poor thing was miserable!
Then that night he started to bark. Not great. Good thing we were going to the doctor for his three year check up the next day.
Pretty terrible way to spend your third birthday. We hadn't made any solid plans for his birthday and I'm glad because we'd have had to change them. Especially since the next week as Hyrum was feeling better the rest of us got sick.
We've all been sick this week so Noah too got to spend his three months "birthday" coughing a sad miserable cough and sleeping a lot.
He did manage to give me a "I'm a chubby bunny" smile during the day though.
Will you look at the mad skills of my son? All that chub without the use of a single marshmallow.
Can you tell me who keeps telling my boys they can get bigger. It's not fair!

Poor little guy! And poor all of you for getting it later! :( I hope you're all feeling better. For the record, I LOVE the Jedi picture. Hilarious. You'll have to do some kind of make-up birthday at Chuck-E-Cheese in a few weeks. :) Also, if you really do decide your done with your swing... bring it on over. I'd LOVE it! :)
