Owen is sick today. He was awake a good portion of last night (as usual...the yoga hasn't helped, yet). He ended up sleeping in his sleeping bag next to our bed (as usual). Emmett was on the other side of the bed in his sleeping bag (as usual). But, he was complaining of a headache and sore throat. This AM, he continued to complain but also had a fever of 101. But he BEGGED, absolutely BEGGED, to play in his soccer games today. I think his exact words were "the team needs me!". And, he was bouncing around the house despite his complaints. So, we relented. I took him and Emmett to piano lessons at 9 and 930 and then we were at the sports center by 1030. We stayed at the sports center from 1030 - 530 pm. Owen played 3 games and Emmett had one game and one practice. Owen played like a soccer superstar. He had absolutely fabulous games and ran the WHOLE time. At no point, did he look tired or complain. But immediately after the third game (at 530 pm), he crashed. He could hardly walk out of the place. And by the time we got home, he had a fever of 102 and was miserable. Poor thing. If you are keeping score, that would be parenting mistake #657,932. I should not have let him played today.
