Preschool Germs

Last week was my 3 year old's first day of preschool. He was very excited to go and had a blast playing with all the toys and meeting new friends. (Oh, and he liked the Skittle he got at the end of the class, too...he is his mother's son!) So that was Wednesday...

When he woke up from his nap on Thursday, he complained that his throat and nose hurt. (Oh that Skittle!!!) That, of course, turned into a runny and stuffed up nose, a cough and a fever the next night.

I hate seeing my little buddy not feeling well, so I am always a little stressed when he gets sick. And now with his little sister, crawling around, following him all over the house, I just don't want her to get sick either. Because, let's face it, sick kids = no sleep for parents or parents getting sick, too.

I know illnesses happen, but come on, the first day of school!?!? And now I have to decide on whether or not to take him to school tomorrow if he still has his cough and stuffy nose...what's a mom to do?
