Our First Family Stomach Bug

Oh and it was no fun AT all. Owen brought it home on Friday (my birthday) and passed it to Erik Saturday and me Sunday. At first we didn't know what he had. So we went out Saturday (he was feeling better) and left him with our babysitter. Then Sunday we went to my parents' to celebrate my dad's birthday. Needless to say, we spread our yuckiness. We feel terrible (in more ways than one). I stayed home with him Monday (and missed a boring workday for me). He's been keeping food down (and no sickness since Sunday at lunch). So we felt pretty good about sending him to school today (Tuesday). But they told us to come pick him up today because he's still showing signs (you don't want to know) of being sick. Erik's taking the day off tomorrow. But we're convinced they're full of it. He's happy and healthy. He's playing and keeping down food. I only wish I was able to stay home with him now... no daycare! I can't wait until June 4, when I can stay home with him every day (and we don't have to worry about all these bugs and all these rules).

Also, Owen has decided that he will no longer sit in his booster seat at the dinner table. We already had to go from a high chair to a booster seat at seven months or so because he decided he hated the high chair. Now he insists on sitting at the table in a regular chair. He's not even 22 months! Oh he thinks he's so much older than he is. I'm in store for a lot of stress with this one.
