I was debating whether to stay home today because John was having a pretty hard time breathing this morning, and thought he might have to go to the doctor; his lungs seem to be producing an inordinate amount of mucus the last couple of days, and he feels like he's constantly in danger of getting a mucus plug. He woke me up coughing last night and I had to pound on his back for awhile to loosen stuff up. However, he tried a Singulair tablet, and it seems to have helped a lot - he called to tell me he's ok and I shouldn't have to come home early.

He also called to tell me that Gareth's attitude about his sister appear to be changing. He had previously been exhibiting a lot of jealousy, and saying "I hate you!" - I had given him several talks on how that word has no place in our house. Today, John was tickling Avalon, and Gareth was feeling protective, I guess, told him to leave her alone, and accidentally managed to belt John in a very sensitive spot - enough to bring him to his knees. Then everyone was very concerned about Daddy - "Are you ok?" (*squeaks* "Yes - Daddy will be - he just can't talk right now!")

I keep telling him; if he's gonna start wrestling around on the bed with them, he should probably wear a cup.
