Friday: a cough coming on

 

August slept twelve hours and seemed to be doing fine this morning. A happy wake up, and we were ready to leave the house a little past ten to go to Home Plus and then Dream Forest, where we would play in the wading pool and fountain. After that we were to meet Carly and go to a little family social gathering at a playground. 

But then I went to change him to leave. As soon as I picked him up he put his head on my shoulder. Then he looked like he was falling asleep on the changing pad. So instead of leaving I picked him up and got him to sleep for a nap. 

I knew something was off. He had a bit of a cough last night, but it wasn’t too bad. But he had just fallen asleep after only two hours. And he continued to sleep. Over two hours and 45 minutes. He woke up with a temperature of 38.6. 

So, original plans aside, we did manage to go to Home Plus for a few things. Before that we went to the art museum to see their new exhibit. At Home Plus we bought him a soccer ball.

We stopped at the park on the way home and played. He was mellow though, and really leaned back on me when we were on the swings. He played with the soccer ball, but then started to get quiet. We headed home and he fell asleep again before 4:30. 

He slept 50 minutes and woke up for awhile. After that he slept most of the evening, having one other wake up period for about 45 minutes.
