Never ending virus

For over a week now, below shows how pitiful Ben has been. This virus started with diarrhea, moved to a 4 day fever with cough and now back to diarrhea. It was obvious he didn't feel good because he wasn't hitting, throwing tantrums, screaming... and was mopy, wanted to snuggle with us and took breaks from playing. And for the 1st time EVER, he slept in our bed. Ben seriously has never slept in our bed, in fact really anywhere besides his bed and he was so sicky he feel asleep in our bed and on the couch. One night, while all cozy in our bed (see picture below) he had this look of "oh wow what have I been missing not sleeping with mom and dad!"It was kinda nice to have him fall asleep next to us, but we for sure don't want to make it a habit! With the help from immodium, we think the diarrhea is coming to an end. His poor toosh can't handle anymore. So sad. The attitude is returning (unfortunately) but on the flip side, lets us know he is feeling better. Ben is getting his very 1st hair cut today too! The back of his hair is turning into a big poof :)
We discovered a huge milestone for Mr. Ben - he knows the alphabet through T!!! It is truly amazing and we had no idea he knew them straight through. He started spelling his name last night and slowly saying other words. So proud of my stinker!!!! He is one smart cookie, with lots of attitude.

Please I'm too sick for pictures

Haha Mom, tricks on you - I took your spot in bed!
