We figured it was better to take him home to his own house and open the windows and put the fan on. We got home and the house was 84 degrees. I took a chance and tried the A/C. It worked. After an hour the temp had gone down to 80. A few hours after that we were back to normal. Colin slept from about 10:30 until 8:30. I'm praying he's back on schedule.

About 10 minutes later #2 wakes up crying complaining of a stomach ache. I ask if he has to go to the bathroom and he says no, it's not that. His stomach really hurts. OK, into my bed and I'll get the heating pad for a bit. We get him settled and he calms down. Knowing that he tends towards the dramatic, I s...
