Dirt Day

Yesterday was gorgeous here in Hillsboro, and since days like that come along as often as moments of chill-out time for a mom, we took advantage and worked out in the yard. You, of course, loved the dirt. You would live in it if you could. That and water. I was glad I put you in some heavy-duty Old Navy jeans because you got filthy, top to bottom. I remember that my favorite times as a kid were when I was covered in mud, so I let you go for it.

You have had a runny nose for about 2 weeks, and just developed a bad cough in the last couple of days, and I'm getting worried. I remember what it was like when you got bronchitus in Antigua, and this is seeming like the same type of thing. We're going to the doctor tomorrow.
