Today, Danny woke with what has become a familiar sound in our household, the cough sounding like a seal bark which indicates croup. Overall, Danny was not too sick, but I still kept him home from school. It seems that whenever Danny gets a cold it always begins as the croup. Thankfully, as he has gotten older, it has gotten more mild. We have had two trips to the hospital in the past due to croup. We are very grateful that this more mild form coincided with our move to China.
Josh was extremely tired this morning, so I put him down for a morning nap, and Danny and I spent this time on our sofa bed in the playroom watching movies and drinking orange juice. The afternoon Josh and Danny switched places, and Josh went with me to pick up things from Danny's school while Danny slept.
Danny has a notebook he brings home every Friday and when I picked it up this week, they also handed us a scholastic book order form. Boy did this bring back memories of my childhood. I loved to read and my parents always let me pick out some books from the order. I look forward to sitting down with Danny and continuing this tradition. Who knew we would have this here in China.
As everyone was tired from this week and Danny was still recovering from his cold, we ordered pizza and relaxed at home together. Tomorrow we have a big evening, as we are going to a barbecue at a friend's house (Lindsay I have know since we moved in here, and Alivia, her daughter, is good friends with Danny--they are in the same class at school and inseparable at play time). After the barbecue the club here in our community is having their General Manager Pool Party. It should be a fun evening.
