An Unhappy First

Rionn got to stay home from school for the first time in his short career.  Only, it's because his fever currently stands at 103.  Nice.  He's really disappointed.  So Cole and I tag teamed it today.  I went to work from 7-11 and he left for work at 11:30.  Tomorrow, it will probably be just Rionn and I.  When I walked in the door today, Rionn looked up at me.  I asked him how he felt and he said, "Dad said I'm sick.  And that I can't go to school."  He followed his statement with a forceful crossing of the arms.  I'm sure in a few years or possible next year, he'll be telling me he's sick and can't go to school.  Plus, he doesn't get sick like this often.  In fact the last time he had a fever was when he was 2.  So here's hoping that after this germ session is gone, it'll go another 4 years.
