July 26

Isaac has always insisted that he doesn't have seasonal allergies. Brady, on the other hand, fully admits that he does and takes his allergy medication religiously. But even he has slacked a bit of late and has been paying the price.

Anyway, both boys got up this morning suffering from stuffy noses so both spent much of the day playing video games and lying very low. By mid-afternoon, Isaac felt lousy enough that when I came into the kitchen, I found Brady dosing him with his allergy meds.

And then a little later, I found him in his room asleep on the floor. I watched him for a minute and then quietly closed the door. 

It's not fun to feel unwell, so I'm thankful that he knew that the best course of action was to rest.
