When we ran in there it took us a minute to realize that Seth was neither crying normally or throwing up. He had an attack of croup and was terrified that he could not breath. (He did not seem to be sick yesterday and still only sounds a little hoarse this morning with no other symptoms.) He was better once he calmed down in the steamed bathroom. After a while he wasn&#8217;t scared anymore and was breathing easier so I read a book to him before trying to put him back to bed. He chose &#8220;The Littlest Angel&#8221; and at the end he said &#8220;Mommy, I want to be an angel some day.&#8221; When I asked him why he said &#8220;So I can save the day!&#8221; \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>This morning Peter was still here when I woke up (he&#8217;s so very quiet in the mornings I rarely see him) and Jerome was already awake.
