My sweet little Talin has been sick. Yesterday was a very cold day and we had a few inches of fresh snow, so Tom promised the boys that they could go outside and build a snowman together. Well it was too cold for the snow to stick together and to stay outside for more than ten minutes, so we went to the mall after being outside so the boys could run around. While we were at the mall Tom was talking to a Verizon man and I was looking at Bath & Body Works. Well the mall was pretty much empty and Talin just laid on a bench saying he was tired. I didn't think much of it, but when we got home I realized that he felt a little warm. So we gave him some Tylenol, a bath, and laid him down for a nap. Well four hours later he wakes up and is absolutely burning. His temperature got up to 104 degrees and he was so sad and lethargic. He absolutely broke my heart and made me feel incredibly guilty for letting him play in the snow and taking him to the mall earlier that day. Thank goodness he didn't have school yesterday or today. But I'm now a little frustrated because he woke up with a fever this morning so I of course canceled a doctor's appointment and didn't go to the gym. But within an hour he was up running around playing with toys and feeling better and hasn't stopped today. He didn't even take a nap! Kids are crazy, their recovery time is like nothing. I'm grateful that he seems to be feeling better. Although I just went into his bedroom where he and Collin are playing and his eyes are incredibly red and he feels a bit warm once again. Oh the never ending cycle of sickness, I love this time of year!

Kids seem to handle sickness alot better than adults. My kids usually act sick at night time and first thing in the morning and then during the day they seem fine. Hope he feels better.
Poor baby! He's so dang cute! He is one of the sweetest little boys ever! Hopefully you'll be able to get back to the gym - I hate missing for sick kids! Did you do a video at home????
Poor guy. I hope he feel better soon. For your sake and his.
Your little guys are definitely fever-prone so 104 is much different for them than it would be for mine. He looks so sweet on your bed. I thoroughly enjoy those cuddle times with a warm baby, sad but sweet.
Thanks for the well wishes, he is so darn cute curled up in that bed! I have to agree that I love being able to cuddle a lethargic feverish child. It's the only time they hold still!
I hope he's feeling better! My kids get really high fevers, too -- it just seems to be the way they cope with germs, but it's always scary to get that readout. That sleepy picture is too cute!
