Caroline spent the day home with me yesterday, still feverish but eating like a horse and seeming generally happy if a little less rambunctious than usual. Ben got off the school bus yesterday and immediately announced that he didn't feel well and his stomach hurt. He spent the afternoon/evening mostly lying on the couch and didn't eat dinner. As expected, this morning Caroline was back to her usual self and headed off to preschool, while Ben is lying in my bed watching TV ;) At least a sick nine year old is a lot easier to take care of than a sick two year old :) Rebecca as usual remains unfazed by the illness around her, and has not missed a day of school yet this year.
