It's heartbreaking to my kids cough. Tuana woke up in the night coughing. She couldn't sleep because she was coughing so much. Her eyes were puffy and watery. She would cough. Pop her head up and say "dah!" then flop back down in my arms or on my chest. I sat with her in the chair, right next to the vaporizer - hoping it would relieve her coughing. I considered getting up and showering with her ... but it was the middle of the night. Her coughing continued for what seemed like hours - and soon she became irritated, fussing in my arms out of frustration that she couldn't sleep. And, eventually, exhaustion overtook the coughing and we both slept.
All three kids have runny noses again. The Turkish people would say its because the temperature has dropped ten degrees in the last couple of days.
But, it didn't stop us from making Valentine's Day cookies today. We decorated them with left over cake decorations: frosting, sprinkles, sugar hearts, and colorful tube frosting to make pictures.
