Dylan came down with a high fever Monday night so we spent all of Tuesday and Wednesday hanging out, watching movies and trying to keep the fever down a bit. Luckily it was a sore throat virus - 102-104 degree fever and blisters in his mouth and throat, but it came and went pretty quickly. Poor kid said he was "freezing" in the middle of July in our less-than-ideal-temperature swamp cooler house - even with blankets on top of him. He kept trying to take "HOT" baths to warm up. Every time I tried to do anything, he would freak out and tell me to come back and "squish" him to warm him up some more. Of course Preston thought it was some sort of a game where we jump on each other. It took me a minute to get him to hold still and just lie next to me. This is pretty much how we looked for half the week.

It's no fun having a sick kiddo. It sounds like you have had a pretty crazy week. I hope your big guy gets feeling better! Good luck :)
so cute! I am sorry that Dyl was sick but glad to hear he is doing better now.
What a sweet picture that is! I'm glad that he's feeling better. Thank heavens for antibiotics! At least being sick makes for some nice snuggle time.
