First Cold

Poor Oliver has his first cold. I feel so terrible for him. It's hard to watch your baby struggling and not being able to tell you how awful he feels. Hopefully it won't last long. He's gotten a lot of rest today so maybe it's on it's way out...

Christopher Robin
Had wheezles
And sneezles,
They bundled him
Into
His bed.
They gave him what goes
With a cold in the nose,
And some more for a cold
In the head.
They wondered
If wheezles
Could turn
Into measles,
If sneezles
Would turn
Into mumps;
They examined his chest
For a rash,
And the rest
Of his body for swelling and lumps.
They sent for some doctors
In sneezles
And wheezles
To tell them what ought
To be done...

...Christopher Robin
Got up in the morning,
The sneezles had vanished away
And the look in his eye
Seemed to say to the sky,
"Now, how to amuse them today?"
