Henry's had a cough for the last two weeks. Just as it seemed to be getting better, he went and caught a cold on top of it. He was up a lot of last night coughing, which was a bummer, but I have to admit I was happy to see this morning that his nose was runny because his mystery cough with no other symptoms was making me a little nervous. Just to be on the safe side, I'm taking him to the pediatrician tomorrow morning for a checkup to make sure his lungs sound okay. He went down for a nap about twenty minutes ago; I can hear him coughing away. He really needs to get some rest. We got one of those Vicks waterless vaporizers so with luck that'll help calm his throat and nose down enough for him to get a little shut-eye.

You know who else needs to take a little nap? Me. And Dave. And probably lots of other people too.

The next session of belly dancing started yesterday evening. There was a two week break between the last class and this one, long enough, apparently, for me to forget how much I enjoy it, because last night I could bearly drag myself there. Happily, once we got started I was all over it. This time, instead of Egyptian style belly dance, we'll be doing Turkish style. It's a lot more aerobic and a lot less restrained. It uses a 9/8 rhythm which I personally think is nuts, but our teacher assures us we'll be totally used to it by the end of the class. Yeaaahhhh...
