Serif woke up Friday morning with this horrible cough. When he would get excited his breathing became very labored and his voice was sounding horse. We called the doctor yesterday morning and they said it sounded like the Croup and that maybe we should bring him in to be checked out. Well . . . sure enough. We took him to see Dr. Ladd and he diagnosed it right away. He said it should go away within a week and not be contagious after 3-4 days. He told us to watch for signs of ear infection because often that will follow. He said that would probably happen on Monday if it's going to. We're keeping our fingers crossed that he'll dodge that one.
We went to see Pops last night and fixed some Shepard's Pie. Jeff and I have been researching new recipes online and this one's doing pretty well. Serif's spirits have been pretty high despite the illness. I think his top tooth is bothering him more than the croup! Friday he went down for a nap around 1:00 and I woke him up to eat at 5:00 (he was due to eat around 2 or 3). He's sleeping a lot. I guess so he can get over this thing. He even took a nap at Pops last night (a time that he is normally not so tired). Poor guy. It should be over soon.

poor little sweetie, i hope he feels better soon!
I hope he's over this now. =( Even with the croup, he seems to be relatively chipper (at least in these photos).
By the way, the second pic of the doc looks like Will Ferrell. I literally had to do a double take. Tee hee....
