Kindergarten = Sick

Apparently Future Bam wasn't tormented by enough germs and illnesses when he was younger so he's paying for it all now in kindergarten. I guess this is what happens when your child has never attended daycare or preschool. Today makes the 3rd day that FB has missed school this month due to some kind of sickness. We've went from upper respiratory infection to a rash(the verdict is out on whether it was truly poison ivy or excema but it was BAD) to a fever & swollen tonsils in a 3 week period. Maybe FB needs a bubble???

I'm off to invest in some vitamin C and echinacea before the flu season starts otherwise we really might run into some trouble.

If you have a child in kindergarten have they gotten sick yet? Is echinacea a wonder herb? Help, I don't want another sick Monday.

A Birthday He Won't Soon Forget

After visiting a sick relative in the hospital, we all came down with a mysterious 24 hour virus or something of that sort. We are recovering today.

Yesterday wasn't pretty. I witnessed more puke than I ever thought possible. And, to top it all off, yesterday was our oldest son's 6 birthday.

Here's how it all went down on his 6th birthday:

Birthday Breakfast: Nothing

Birthday Lunch: Again, nothing

Birthday Dinner: A few sips of Gatorade

And then he fell asleep with a helium birthday balloon tied to his wrist.

On the upside, we spent the ENTIRE day laying on the couch together watching his favorite TV shows in between naps and puking.

Good thing his party isn't until this coming Saturday...
