Despite the fact that Liam is cheerful, has a good appetite, and is sleeping well, the runny nose he had yesterday has developed into a more recognizable cold. The stuff coming out of his nose is no longer clear, and while he’s not sneezing any more he does have the tendency to smear mucus all over his face with a hand and then go on playing with toys with that wet hand. (Yuck.)

So, home he stays.

This really sucks, because I needed today to do the final check and polish on my copy-edits. I’ll do what I can during his nap and tonight after he’s in bed. And now on the laptop, while he indulges in Kids CBC through the morning, a treat he usually only gets on Saturdays.

(I am trying to see this as a positive thing in that we’re saving a day’s worth of daycare fees, but it’s hard.)
