cough + fever = run from crocodiles?

Jordan has had a runny nose over the last few days and a cough that has increased in frequency since Friday evening. Kenneth and I were debating last night about whether or not she and I would go to church today. When she woke up with a fever of 101.3, the decision was made for us! I woke up with a sore throat myself, so it was a good idea for us to stay home.

The thing is that even with a fever and a runny nose and a cough, she has been in the best mood today! Recently, Jordan has been really "getting into" watching movies and videos. Dora is a big favorite and especially the one where she goes to the soccer game. During part of the movie (I think--I'm not usually around when she watches, so I've not seen it), Dora and Boots have to cross a bridge. There are crocodiles in the water below. Dora says, "Run! Here come the crocodiles!" I don't think I can count on my fingers and toes how many times Jordan said that same line with the same inflection and the same intensity and the same passion! She asked for Kenneth to run with her, chase her, play with her all day. That might explain why he was quick to jump on the "morning shift" when we were figuring out who was going to stay home with our sick girl tomorrow! :)
