Where is Brayden and what have you done with him?

Tony and I returned home from a trip (details later) on Thursday night. Brayden and Bryce stayed with a family friend. We had been told that Brayden was sick but feeling much better by the time we picked him up. On the way home from the airport (after reuniting with the kids), Brayden was quick to tell us every detail of his week and laughed continually. He woke up the next morning and I was convinced that someone had swapped kids in the middle of the night. He still has a cold and I'd venture to say a sore throat as well. So I know he's not feeling well... but the kid is just plain MEAN! Well, ok... not just mean... Mean, and whiny, and fussy, and demanding, and sappy, and crying, and ...I'm out of adjectives but you get the point. For the past 2 days, we haven't gone 10 minutes without some sort of crying breakdown, tantrum, or pout. Unreal. It's the slightest thing... like one of us sitting on the couch rather than laying down, or having oatmeal when he wanted cereal, or going in the house when he wanted to stay in the car, or having water instead of milk...or ... I could go on and on... but please make this cold go away quickly....
