Poor Benjamin has been sick with the flu for five days now. He's had fevers up to 103 degrees, an awful cough, and has been throwing up at least once a day. I feel so bad for him, all he wants is to be held all the time. But alas, Scott is out of town and after holding him for two days straight I decided it was time to put him down and take a shower. I put him in his Jumperoo and instructed Andrew to watch him while I was in the shower. As soon as I got out I retrieved him and put him on the floor in the hallway so he could see me while I dried my hair. He promptly started crying for me to pick him up. I ignored him for a minute so I could finish getting ready, and he crawled over to me, cried "uh mama, uh mama" and laid his head on my feet. It was the sweetest thing he has ever done. I of course picked him up right away and cuddled him. Poor little monkey.

Also I have to give kudos to Andrew. He's virtually been being ignored for the last five days while Ben's been sick and he's been such a trooper, entertaining himself and helping out a ton. He definitely deserves a speacial treat or day out when this is all over.
