Sicks kids are awful. No, that pic is not of Cruz when he's sick... it's his Uncle Gabe. I don't know how many times that I saw a kid out in public with a snot crusted nose, an eye that had schmutz on it, and looking really run down and though "what in the hell is wrong with this kids parents? Wipe the damn kids nose! Clean up his eye! What's wrong with you?" I also remember cussing parents out because their kid cried while I was eating at a resutraunt. I couldn't believe how inconsiderate it was to have thier kid out while I was trying to enjoy a meal. I now know a few things. Kids get sick. Kids have nasty noses. Kids cry despite your best efforts. While we were out for a family meal the other night with Ash's family I found myself standing and bouncing with a little Cruz dude trying to keep the big cries from coming. It turns out that this whole parenting thing is easier when you don't have any.
Sick kids also can't breathe well. The Dr. told us to elevate his head by propping his matress up with pillows. Then you have to put rolled up pillows along side him so he doesn't roll down. Well Cruzer doesn't lay still for anything, so every morning he was laying upside down hacking his little heart out. Man sick kids are awful. You can't do anything for them. It's like talking to a democrat, you know the only real answer is to let them figure out no one can do it for them, but you just want to help. You also know they might have a wet diaper.
So I apologize to every parent of the kid with the crusty nose. My bad, I get it now. I also apolgize to Cruz because I tend to drop food on him while I am trying to eat/bounce/pace.
