...HENRYWATCH 2006 UPDATE...

Well, Henry has officially been fever free for 24 hours. He hasn't had any cold medicine or fever reducer since yesterday afternoon and he hasn't spiked in his temperature at all. He has been running around and playing all day like the big spaz that he is, so it looks good for Sunday to see the baby. I would wait until the end of the week to get that "cousins" picture (if at all) but I am pretty confident that we will all be fine and dandy. He still has to take the TamiFlu twice a day until Sunday, which sucks, but we'll do it. He haaaaaaaates it and I don't blame him. Until yesterday we were mixing it together with the super sweet cold medicine so it wasn't as bad, but now that ti is straight up TamiFlu, he's fighting us a bit more. So far he isn't spitting it out, though, which is good. And suprizing.

This time tomorrow we'll be in CT!!! I was supposed to give Henry a bath tonight but decided to do laundry instead. "Can't you do both?", you might ask. No. Henry pretty much lives in fear of the buzzer that goes off when the dryer is on. If he has to pee or poop when the dryer is running he will do so only with his shoulders pulled all the way up and his hands clasped firmly over his ears. It terrifies him. So I wasn't going to make him sit in the bathtub like that. If I am feeling exceedingly ambitious in the morning I'll give him a bath before we leave. Otherwise we'll just show up stinky. I have the feeling that the grandparents won't mind the little dreads in the back of his hair.

Okay. Back to packing.
