Sick Snuggle Bug

Who would quess from looking at this happy face that Quin is sick. It appears that he has some sort of virus at the moment. As a result of feeling icky, he hasn't felt like eating much since Sunday afternoon. Our poor boy, who once would devour a scrambled egg in under a minute, wants nothing to do with them, or any other food for that matter. What is a mom to do? I have had to get creative with my offerings of food. Sometimes it is a matter of pretending that I will eat his food (this often will get him to take one or two bites), or else I offer lots of snacks throughout the day (still getting him to take only a bite or two). Regardless of the tricks I use, he hasn't been eating much. In the end, if he doesn't want to eat, that is okay, as long as he gets fluids.

Whenever Quin gets sick, he becomes extremely snuggly. I am sure that he will be back to his normal self in a few days, but in the mean time I am enjoying how cuddly he has been. I love it! (Not that I want my child to be sick, but I will never turn down cuddles.)
