Trick or Sick?

Sometimes kids are indecisive. Sometimes even Archie. However, indecisive is definitely NOT the word to describe Archie for his Halloween costume. He's been planning out his policeman costume for months now. No other offer for a different Halloween costume deterred him for more than half a second or so. He is a pretty cute policeman, right? The only problem is it's now Halloween and he's been sick for three days. I took him to the doctor this morning, and he has some kind of respiratory issue requiring an inhaler, antibiotics, etc. I'm just praying it won't turn into whatever he had in Thailand that time that required a hospital stay because despite a few interesting diversions in the hospital, it wasn't fun for anyone. Thankfully, no one has mentioned anything quite that drastic yet.

This Monday we went on a Halloween parade at a local nursing home as a little service project. He enjoyed dressing up, and his teacher is going to let him wear his police uniform when he does come back to school. Hope everyone behaves that day :)
