Nigel's first sick day

Nigel had his first sick day today - and he was so excited about it. For some reason, he found it fun (I mean, he's still a bit fun to think it's fun to stay at home sick right? Kids his age should be raring to go to school to learn new things). Celest forced him to stay in bed all morning - and I doubt he slept, he was tossing and turning and talking to himself (in a sane sort of way). If he doesn't recover, he might have to do more self-talking tomorrow too.

Shannon, on the other hand, has been going to school. Even with the slight cough she has had, she's been enjoying herself and seems to be getting better. Maybe she passed the virus around to her friends and in the process lowered the number of germs that she had in her system - if that even makes sense.

Here's a picture of her taken in her school as part of her portfolio. She all formal and not smiling. Must have been a serious photo-taking day.
