Ok, the sick came back, which is why I wasn't posting. Finally went to the doctor, had to take the toddler with me, and the Nasonex spray is helping to keep it in the nose, rather than the back of the throat. Result - going through massive amounts of kleenex, but coughing less.
Sick of this weather. Sick of winter jackets and boots. Sick of wet and cold. Where is spring?? Send some up here if you have it at your place.
All kinds of other stuff been happening too. Will post more later.

Toddler crisis
Everything was a crisis today.
Getting dressed to go out - I placed the wrong hat on him.
WANT TYLER HAT! (Tyler is a kid in his daycare. His hat is the same colour, but that's where the resemblence ends. Don't ask.)
Putting his boots on his feet - I made him sit on the floor when he prefers a different place.
WANNA SIT CHAIR!
Placing the hood on his head - it was -13°C outside for crying out loud.
WAAAAAAAA!
Trying to get him to sit or stand out of the way so I can get my boots and jacket on...
MAAMAAAA!
Letting him out the door to go down the steps toward the stroller ...
MAMA CARRY!
As I'm carrying him...
NUGGI BELLO!!! (that would be the pacifier and his stuffed dog)
The entire afternoon went like this. A similar scene played out on the way back from the library which was supposed to relax him since he just wouldn't nap. Going there was fine, coming back went from bad to worse. Let's just say that three hours later, when daddy came home, all our wet clothes and boots were still piled on the floor in front of the door.
I did managed to give him his bath prior to dinner. And he did eat some dinner while I was still cooking the remaining dinner. Usually he eats with us, but the whining was getting on my nerves fast so I placed a few goldfish crackers, a few cherry tomatos and some leftover spaghetti in front of him, which he mostly ate.
He finally fell asleep in front of a video (WANNA WATCH A VIDEOOOO!) at 6:30 pm.

Whine, sick, whine
Everyone is sick. And some people are really whiny. And clingy.
A new habit is forming. It's called (mimic extra whiny-ness):
wanna watch a videoooooo
I taped a bunch of stuff to avoid having him glued to Treehouse all day. I was concerned about this before. Like Mighty Machines, and Thomas the Tank Engine. Today, on TVO, we accidentally saw Peep, this animated little show of a bird and a grumpy blue duck. I like the grumpy duck. Ben actually laughed out loud a few times during that show. May make him a tape of that too.
He doesn't ask for videos much when he's feeling good. He plays, and quite well by himself too, with toy cars and lego, trains and even books. But when he's not quite himself, he just wants to veg out in front of the tv.
Not sure how I feel about that. Interacting with him when he's miserable like that is no joy for me either.
Let's hope he's feeling good enough to go to his school tomorrow.
