My snot machine

My son has his first, full-blown cold complete with mucus-filled lungs, running nose and irritability :( It has meant adding yet another pharmacy thing to my ever-growing collection - Karval which is like Vicks Vaporub for infants. The last time I used medicine or any kinda thing like that was almost a decade ago and now I've suddenly acquired my own medicine bank :p

It was to be expected I suppose - his mother's half of the family all had it and had it bad and he's passed it onto my sister and dad which leaves my mum and I free and free we shall remain because we're just too bloody stubborn to get ill ;)

I really should catch something though what with wiping his nose with my hand because I can't find hankies in time and his coughing on my eyeballs (that's his personal favourite that is). He also enjoys slavering up his hand then putting it in my mouth. That couple with the fact that he laughed at me when I accidentally tripped over his baby-chair makes me think he's definitely out to bring me down.

On the plus side he's been falling asleep on my chest which is one of my favourite things :)
