Junior's home sick today. Woke up this morning and announced he was too sick to go to school. Turned off his night light and because the light was making his "head ache", he must have picked that one up from my migraine earlier in the week. He has the sniffles and a loose cough, but no fever. He probably should have gone to school, but we decided to heed the PSAs we're seeing all over TV and stay home when sick.
Well, our little Barrymore has milked this for all he's worth. Set himself up in our bed with his pillows, lots of blankets and is watching home movies of himself, he particularly likes the ones when "Santa" brought his train table and our trip to Strasburg, PA back in May of 2005.
But, he hasn't yet figured out that to stay home sick when borderline one must milk it a little longer...
At 9:00 he announced he was feeling better, at 10:00 he wanted lunch. I gave him cold medicine at 10:30 and by 11:00 he's "much, much better and ready to go out and play." Right now he's not talking to me because I pointed out there's no going outside to play when you stay home from school sick.
If he's not really sick tomorrow it's back to school.

LOL. The whole "I'm sick" thing is great at first, but by the time you want to go out and play it's lost it's appeal!
We have that same cycle here as well. What makes me laugh is when he tries the same routine the next day!
Too cute ;)

Jen, that novelty wears off real quick when 1. they can't go out to play and 2. there's extra homework the next night to make up for what they missed.
Marg, he didn't try the same routine today, lesson learned or maybe he's really feeling better, who knows--LOL.
Cindy, he's cute and he knows it.
