TGIF... or is it?

Dear Aidan,

My worst fears came true today- you got sick from someone at daycare. I was warned by my colleagues and friends that the bad thing about daycare was that the kids got sick a lot. I mean, it could be a good thing in the long run because your body will boost its immune system, but in the present it is HARD. A couple of days ago I noticed that you were breathing very heavily so I thought that you might be coming down with something. Today you were really congested and your nose was runny. Every time you sneezed you had this yellowish mucous that came out. And it wasn't just a little bit. It was a lot! I think you were also very lethargic because you kept falling over while you were walking. It looked like you were drunk. Luckily both mommy and daddy were home today. Daddy took a day off from work and mommy worked from home today. We took you to your doctor in the morning to get your 1-year vaccination shots, but unfortunately you weren't able to get it. The doctor told us that we should hold off until you were feeling a little better. So I made another appointment for next Friday. Hopefully you will be fully recovered by then. I still wanted to drop you off at daycare because I had to work, but it was so hard dropping you off. I think you were really tired and cranky because you were sick. All you wanted to do was to be with me. When mommy handed you over to Larissa, your caregiver, you started crying so much. She was pushing a tandem stroller with the other babies in your class. She put you in an empty seat, but you kept moving side to side to get a better view of me. Then when you saw me, you started reaching out to me. You don't know how hard that was. Larissa told me to go, but it was so hard to leave you like that. I felt extremely guilty. I cried all the way home. Daddy picked you up at 3:00pm, earlier than his usual time, but we wanted to bring you home quickly so that you were with us. These photos were taken just after you got home and mommy was giving you a muffin to eat. You can't really tell from these photos, but your nose was running like crazy. Poor baby! I'm just glad that you got sick now instead of next Tuesday when mommy and daddy go back to work. At least we can watch over you this weekend.
