The bug that just won't go away

We've got a sick boy in the house tonight. Agustín came home from school with a headache (which may have actually turned into a migraine - Andrés used to get these when he was little, and Agustín threw up a few times, basically just complaining that his head hurt so bad. Lots of tears.)

It took a while for the medicine to work.



Daddy took him upstairs when he had rested a bit and played Lego shop with both boys. They put all their Lego pieces into small piles, then assigned a cost to each pile. Each person got a little wad of money, to buy pieces with, which they then put together into an original creation.

I am usually the judge.

It isn't easy, so I've got to pick enough categories to have a winner in each (or else there are tears).

Tonight Agustín won most powerful and fiercest.
Nico won most expensive and coolest.
Daddy won most creative. (Yes, Daddy likes to win, too!)

It took Agustín's mind off the headache and he went to bed saying he was feeling much better. We'll see if he wakes up in the middle of the night. If so, there will be some musical chairs (but actually beds) played until everyone gets settled down.

Praying for a restful, uneventful night.

LOVE that idea for a game.

Hope Tin is feeling better soon- headaches are no fun
