Break with sick Naoya after seeing Dr.

Runny nose developed to a bit of coughing which caused him waking up a few times the night before. Took him to a hospital to check on his bronchi and lungs just in case, and nothing serious was happening luckily. Got some meds, and having a break before heading back home. 

Crafts came with kid's magazine
