Ethan had his share of colds during his first year, but he finally caught what is known as the common cold. A raspy voice, stuffy nose, and runny snot all without having a clue how to use a Kleenex. Darth Vader like sounds echo from his bedroom as he tries to sleep with a pacifier, and the occasional sneeze/nasal explosion that reminds me of a quote from Ghostbusters. "He slimed me". The poor kid is just exhausted. Mom has been rubbing his chest with Vicks and I hooked up the humidifier hoping it makes him feel better, but there is not much you can do other than wait. Hopefully he'll feel better by his birthday this weekend (another shameless plug).
I, on the other hand, am not sick. I just look like hell because as my wife likes to say... "Brian, you struggle.". Thanks Honey. Love you too.

I hope he's feeling better soon! I always get into a hot shower, put some eucalyptus oil in the bottom and I'll sit in there with the little ones until they're breathing better.
Sleep is the only cure...for both sick child and parent!!
