When The Boy woke up this morning, he had a little cough and a stuffy nose. "I don't feel so good." he said. The thermometer showed no fever, but his eyes were watery and he doesn't ask to stay home often - he hasn't had a sick day yet this year - so when he said he wanted to stay home I agreed. I told him he would have to change back into jammies and rest all day if he was staying home sick and he agreed. By mid-morning he looked and sounded a lot better but he hung on the couch all day in his jammies, on his pillow pet, and under a blanket. I guess he needed the "sick day" today and I am perfectly ok with that. Hopefully he wakes up feeling better tomorrow though because while I am ok with a little sick day here and there, I am not ok with anyone actually getting really sick. I sent out a memo about that...it's just not going to be permitted this winter.
