sick and tired

All three kiddos have a bad cold! Chesty coughs, runny noses. They are out of energy and fussy....all day. Yesterday, I thought everyone seemed to be doing a tad better but today, dun, dun, dun! The evil cold striked back! They were more fussy and seemingly achy than the day before! Naomi was the fussiest today. She wasn't chipper or playful. She seemed good after nap but about supper time she started spiraling downward. She cried for about 15 minutes after her bath because she wasn't done. I tried letting her help me get forks on the table for supper and even let her have a juice box. She took two sips and then went to lay on her bed. James, the ever helpful daddy, went to go hold her and cuddle her. He is an amazing man in the 'sick kids' department! So, tonight, since Naomi's been in bed, she has woken up almost every 15 minutes crying from the coughing and probably a sore throat. I imagine her stomach muscles are aching and her chest probably hurts too. She's miserable and seems to only want to sleep and to be even remotely comfortable in daddy's arms on his chest in our bed. We gave her some *tsk* Robitussin Cough suppressant to see if that would calm her throat down. Then, after a bit we will attempt putting her in her own bed. Doesn't James look tired? I'm so relieved he's not a nervous wreck when our kids are sick like I am. He calms me.
