Ben has his first cold. He sounds so pathetic when he coughs. It just breaks my heart. I want so badly to make it all better. I don't know how parents handle it when their children get into real trouble that they can't easily sort out for them. If I feel this impotent over a little cold, imagine how I will feel when real trouble comes along.He has learned to see me coming from a mile away with the aspirator. It has come to the point where both Josh and I need to hold him down in order to get the snot out of his nose. He acts like we are toruring him slowly and methodically. I try to explain to him that I just want to help him breathe more easily, but he's not buying it. He can smell a fibber a mile away. Such a smart little bugger. He makes a mommy proud.
