Last week Wyatt woke up with a fever, a cough, and a stuffy nose during the night so Stephen and I decided that he needed to stay home from school the next day. I was slightly concerned that Henry might want to stay home as well but I tried to play it cool while he ate his breakfast.

Why does Wyatt not have to go to school?

Because he woke up in the middle of the night with a cold and he is too sick to go to school.

(cough, cough) I think I am sick too. I think I caught Wyatt’s cold.

Really? Because I don’t think you seem very sick.

Yeah, well (cough, cough). You’re right. I think I just caught half of Wyatt’s cold.
