Reagan still has a fever. And not just some little itty bitty fever. We're talking 103.4 when he's not on Motrin. And he's a bit stuffy. But that's it! This has happened before, but in the past he's usually had the stuffiness before the fever. This fever thing just showed up while we were at the park yesterday with no warning and other symptoms.

The good news is that I think he is beginning to handle not feeling 100% better then he used to. Before now if he had a tiny bit of a cold he was cranky and miserable and all of us were just unhappy. But it seems with his past few colds that they haven't been slowing him down too much. Unless, of course, he feels really crappy. I think it is just another sign of him growing up.

Tonight is bath night. And bath nights are my nights to get him ready for bed, and then David lays down with him. Tonight he said, without any mention of what night it was, "Can Daddy take a bath with me and Mommy lay down with me?" Of course! He's got this taking turns thing down.

Speaking of taking turns, he played with his friend Jack today. He and Jack are such good friends to each other. They were taking turns for everything it seemed! Again...they are growing up. And they're growing up to be good kids.

**I won the Scene It game last night. There is a rematch in about 45 minutes. And still no Wii.

Just an FYI - watch for a rash. Being that the fever is relatively high (you will see what I mean in a sec), he might have roseola. Temp spikes big time then it is gone and a rash appears with red spots - not necessarily raised. Contagious while with fever. Not to freak you out - just to give you something to look for..in case. Regan just got croup Fri. so she also has a fever but has that lovely cough with it. GL w/ Reagan and with Scene It!
