how can sick be so cute?

So Ben has had a super crazy cold for the last week now.  It all started with a  fever early Saturday morning and then a cough and sore throat developed on Sunday.  His fever finally went away so he could go back to school on Tuesday - which was very important because his class was taking a field trip to the fire station and it simply would not have done for Ben to have missed that trip!  Anyway, his sore throat and cough persisted a few more days, but it is pretty much gone now.  Where is the cuteness in all of this you ask?  Well, as a result of the sore throat and heinous cough, Ben pretty much lost his voice.  Everytime he spoke he sounded like the tiniest most adorable child sound you can think of.  It was deliciously wonderful to hear.  I know that sound was a result of illness, which is never fun, but it was such a cute, cuddly, adorable sound that it was almost worth it!  Ben even enjoyed his "funny voice" as he kept calling it.  Ahhh, these are the days I hope we will remember. :-)
