a FORT!

Ok.. well.. it's an unusual fort... Benson's gotten a cold that has turned into a pretty yucky cough/respiratory bug. We've had a few long nights and a few scary times of wheezing and coughing. A few nights ago, when his respirations increased a bit we needed to get him in some steam to open his airways, so we built this little fort and boiled some water and sat under it and played for a while. It worked like a charm and really helped him a lot.

The steam fogged up the camera!

And the next morning he was feeling a lot better...
Here he is stirring the pancake batter (while sporting the oven mitt) Talented little guy.
