sick bear :(

Yep thats right.. This how we spent our day.. the essentials: green lovey, tylenol, thermometer, baby einstein, lots of books and blocks. all those things with a blanket and mommy snuggles... what is better than that really?



is that the saddest little pouty face you've ever seen!! poor roni-bear!!



we spent the day on the floor - playing blocks, reading books and watching baby einstein - each thing had a very short attention span... here's a shot that lasted about 2 minutes tops!



so yes, the jackaronibear had his first sick day today :( poor little thing... but it really wasn't that bad!

the whole story.... well, yesterday afternoon jackson only slept 20 minutes (if that!) and woke up A MESS! he is usually a mess without a nap but can kind of pull it together -oohhhh boy! not yesterday! he couldn't stand himself really... so by the time we had got home from work he felt pretty warm to me.. took his temp and yep -- poor thing had a fever of 101.8 -- sooooo we gave him some tylenol and a tubby and had some extra snuggle time before bed.. he slept fine through the night so we thought it was just a little bug - until this morning.

daddy and jackson were playing in the hallway when all of a sudden i hear rick call me to come quick.. i put down my coffee and turned the corner -- there was my little jackaroni being held in daddys hands covered in throw up. yeah, gross i know. and for those of you who know my anxiety about throw up you'll be happy to know i didnt throw up right there! baby spit up and throw up doesnt so much phase me - its when they're toddlers and older when its real that makes me go into convulsions!!

sooooo daddy of the century went to work for me (again!) today! jackson got a day at home with mommy.. even though it was a sick day, i still had fun! it reminded me of the days when jackson was tiney tiny and i didnt even know what day it was! but i'm happy to report he was alright after that first episode this morning.. he ate lunch and dinner fine.. he was definitely a bit more whiney and snuggley but for the most part we just played on the floor all day... (and as you may have guessed, mommy sure did love that extra snuggles!) hehe...

Oh and look at this silly bear's new thing... He likes to chew on this dino and crawl around with it hanging out of his mouth!! Funny little guy!! :)


well now that the jackaroni is in bed- its time to snuggle with my love! pray that this little bug is over and doesn't come back to anyone else in this house! :)

hugs ......
