Sebastian was sick for a few weeks this summer - unusually for him. He's always been so incredibly healthy, and despite going to daycare every day, he never got all of the fevers, ear infections, rashes, and viruses that are so common in the under-5 set. And then this summer he managed to catch all kinds of things - a stomach bug in May that caused him to vomit for the first time ever; the coxsackie virus that caused a fever and nasty rashes; the Fifth parvovirus that caused fatigue and a flushed face for days; pinkeye, requiring drops three times a day for ten days (ugh), and a lingering bronchial cough. It was as if he was trying to make up for lost time, or else get everything out of the way before kindergarten. At any rate, he came into work with me a few times while sick, and had a grand time. He drove his cars all around the office hallways, developed a total crush on my co-worker Josh, enjoyed having lunch out with mommy, and napped in a chair in the corner of my office. It was kind of sweet to have him around.
