Or this:
And this:
Cuddle them. Enjoy the snuggle time..while it lasts.
But most importantly, if your child is doing a lot of the above, and the other things that accompany a fever of 103 degrees Farenheit, (i.e. a whole lot of nothing), it might be very tempting to try to knock out some items on your to-do list.
Like cutting their hair.
I don't really recommend that.
I tried to give Max a haircut last night, just a little bang trim so that he'd be more comfortable watching all that t.v.
Mr. Wonderful walked into the room and saw me with the scissors dangling dangerously above the eye of our fever-induced son, and I flashed right back to 33 years ago when I was practicing the same scissor technique on my then-two-year old brother. And my mom walked in.
This time, I didn't get yelled at or sent to my room.
The haircut, however, looks remarkably similar.
Stick with the cuddles and popsicles. Much more rewarding for all parties involved.

I'm sorry to hear Max isn't feeling well! Poor guy...
I'm sure the bang trim isn't that bad. and if it is, at least it was free. I paid $12.95 plus a tip for Connor's awful new do. And went back the next day and demanded SOMEONE attempt some repairs. And that worked only so-so, and now I'm waiting for it to be long enough so we can go back for more fun and hope for better results... The last time I attempted doing any real haircuts on anyone, it was on Jared and he came out of it looking like Friar Tuck. My hair cutting days are over!
Big giant hugs to Max, and I'm hoping he's feeling much better today
