Dylan has a cold. He started coughing yesterday evening and his congestion just escalated to the point of concern last night. Funny how two kids can be derived from the same genetic material but be so totally different. When Sash was a baby she used to get colds quite often but they never really bothered her ie us. Dylan however becomes rather grumpy and needy. He is not drinking as much and he is unable to sleep due to his stuffed nose. He slept with me last night while D slept with Sash. I couldnt really sleep as he was just up every hour or more feeling frustrated and wanting to hold on to my pinky. He didnt want to drink his milk...he just wanted to snuggle. Cute initially, but less so by 2am...2.30am...and so on.

So instead of dragging him along to Sash's gym class I got D to postpone his lunch appointment and take Sash to her class while I stayed home with Dylan. It is -25 or something ridiculously close out there so perhaps it was best that Sash not be exposed too long in that weather. Against better judgement I also asked D to pick up some sausages and eggs for Saturday's brunch. So in the past 20 minutes I have received 5 phone calls from him regarding the shopping task. He has so far picked up 2 tubs of Hagaan Daz Ice Cream, some "fancy" cookies (No idea what he means...probably has sprinkles or are moose shaped...he is pretty easy to please in that regard), sushi for my lunch (sweet)and other snacks, but no sausages, or eggs. I remember now why I do all the shopping...
