cold turkey

The experiment has been temporarily called off, due to scheduling issues and Kai's cold. Yes, he has his first official cold. He probably caught it from me, since I just got over one. Which makes it all the more painful to see him ill.

Every cough breaks my heart. His constantly running nose is a reminder of his vulnerability. He is obviously weak and not in great spirits. This morning he woke from his nap wailing, and kept wailing for about 30 minutes straight, seemingly without taking a breath. He actually took an afternoon nap today, which is completely out of routine for him. Of course, I got a phone call at 1am from Erin while I was at work that Kai was now awake and fussy. It took me over 30 minutes to get him to go back to sleep once I got home from a busy night at the Restaurant.

So, while the Experiment is still planned, I'm going to wait until Kai is healthy again. I don't want to push another challenge on him right now. Right now, my little man needs to some chicken soup and his mommy. Going cold turkey on his toys while fighting a cold would be inhumane.
