Eating My Words

So much for the "being over the worst of it" that I posted yesterday. It's funny how illnesses work in children. Sebastian had been sick all yesterday morning. I cradled & babied him one moment & he was bouncing around the house the next. As I posted yesterday, I promised a trip to the park if he took a good nap. And he did. And the moment he awoke, he reminded me of our pact. He seemed much better and so I figured some time out in the fresh air would do us both some good. He hadn't had any "sick" spells since before 11am, so at about 4pm I took him to the park as promised. He played & acted silly and you couldn't even tell by looking at him that he had been sick. So, I figured it was a little bug.

Not {I always speak too soon}! About 7 or 8'ish, he started in again + a low-grade fever. Thankfully, David was home from work by then & got the brunt of it. I have to give props to David on being able to deal with a sick kid. He's been spit up on, puked on, pooped on more times that I can count and he takes it all in stride - deals with the boy then deals with the mess. Always! AWESOME Daddy! He finally fell asleep about 10:30.

Today, he has only had a few sick moments & it was in the very, very early morning - so early my brain couldn't comprehend time {and no fever at all today}. Doc said I was doing everything right...keeping him home from daycare, Tylenol/Motrin for fever, lots of fluids & sleep, and of course, lots of cuddling & kisses. We will see how tonight goes, but I think we can get back to our normal schedule again - just in time for Labor Day weekend. We don't have any plans, but at least our plans {hopefully} won't be staying home with a sick little guy.

Well, I'll leave you tonight with a few of the park pics. Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.
