Isabel and I are marvelous phlegm machines. We sit around all day, drinking milk and water and weak tea and converting it all into phlegm. I serve mine up in crumpled tissues that overflow the wastebaskets, drift around on the floors, and burrow into the couch cushions. Isabel can't be bothered with such artifice and simply lets hers flow down her

Malcolm had his first big cold awhile back and, yeah, it's no picnic. He's just tired and miserable and perhaps a bit feverish ... plus that breathing thing you mention. We had to convince ourselves that it was definately not necessary to see the doctor about it. (on the worst day, we said if he wasn't better the next day, we'd take him in. but he was slightly better, so that was good)

For blowing his nose, he is sometimes mollified into allowing it if I show myself doing it first (faking it on the facial tissue i'll use with him). If he's not into it, I sometimes ram it on there anyway (moving with his head and/or slightly holding his head) and squeeze the whole nose to see what I can coax out. Er, but in a nice way.

oh and it's weird how some of your posts, like this one and your Nov 11, (and one from quite awhile back I recall) don't make it onto my Friends page...

Awwww you poor things. Mia's been congested this week, also. Here's is due to teething...I think. She really squirms when I take the snot-sucking bulb to her. It rarely helps, but I feel better for doing something that in my mind is constructive.

Love to you all ~Tanya~

I hope you two are feeling better. It's super cold and crowded here, so not getting sick is almost a form of high art!
