Samuel's first cold

Samuel is getting socially integrated at the halte garderie but he also came home yesterday with a slight cold.  Not serious enough to go to the doctor but serious enough to keep him, and us, up most of the night.  He has a stuffy/runny nose and a slight cough with the occasional sneeze.  His appetite is currently half of what it normally is.

We gave him some children's tylenol at 0430 and he has mostly slept since then.  It is difficult to see him go through this and the smiley, happy little boy that we know so well does not exist right now.  He is aware and awake but he is not smiling and has no energy to chase after the cats.

He is obviously not feeling well and I feel completely helpless to do anything to help him.
