hand, foot & mouth disease: 2; trigg boys: 0

my sweet boys have been taken down by a whacky virus that sounds better suited for the bovine and not for the human. however, que sera sera.

i have to say that they seem to be managing well. henry succumbed first, by 2 days, and hugh was amazingly empathetic to poor henry. each time he would cry, hugh would say "don't cry, henry" and then go through the play book of things to make henry laugh. no one can make henry laugh like his big brother can. there were also many big brother on little brother hugs.

sadly, hugh came down with it today. he was most upset, and began to cry, when he learned that he wouldn't be able to go to school. it was so heart-breaking to watch. he has to be feeling badly since he passed out for a long nap at 9:30am. it's currently 11:13am and he's showing no signs of getting up anytime soon.

i think we'll be going out for popsicles later this afternoon to sooth my poor babies' mouths.
