Asher - the Super Crouper

Hooray.

Asher has his first real cold.

I don't mean one of those little snot kind of colds - we're talking the mother of all colds.  Pulling on his left ear, fussing ALL night, coughing up small furry animals, and emitting enough green snot to fill the Grand Canyon.  

Up to this point, he'd been sleeping really well.  We had started solids, so he was getting more full at night after dinner, and sleeping longer stretches... and then *BAM*, this cold hits (or is it *BAM,*?).  He seemed out of sorts on Saturday, but slept really well that night... probably because we were out and about all day.  He was tired out!  Sunday, he developed this nasty hacking cough, and barely slept at night.  Needless to say, Monday was a rough day for both Adam and me at work. 

It's Thursday now, and aside from the occasional lingering hack, he's back to his normal, happy-go-lucky self.  I've heard that once they have Croup, it comes back often through their infant/toddler/young child years.  Awesome.  For now, sayonara, Croup, old friend... I hardly new ye.
