Please for the love of everything that is holy... BRING ON SPRING! We are tired of being sick. Grant had a stomach bug this past weekend - of which poor Todd caught the brunt of on Sunday morning, if you know what I mean! Poor honey... he's such a good Daddy. Although he did tell me he let out some choice words around Grant after he threw up all over him. Good thing G is too young to repeat such things!
Grant was very grumpy Sunday morning, even after his morning nap (which has been hit or miss lately, but he was out cold within minutes). When he woke up from his morning nap, he only wanted his cup of milk. I didn't want a repeat of what had happened earlier in the morning, so I gave him about 2-3 ounces of water. After it was gone, he cried and cried. I felt so bad for the little guy, but I wanted to wait and make sure it STAYED DOWN. Then Todd took Natalie on a walk just to get her out of the house. Poor G whined and cried the whole time they were gone. Finally when they got back, it had been an hour and he had kept the water down, so I decided to try some banana. He scarfed down almost a whole banana (and only didn't finish it because I was afraid it would come back up!), and then I gave him a little more water, which he also promptly finished. He was MUCH happier after all of that. He went back down for his afternoon nap without any problems.
After nap, he woke up hungry again. We gave him some Pedialyte and he was very happy with that and was just content to chew on the top to his cup for about an hour before dinner. For dinner, he ate a half a banana, a few bites of "Cream of Rice" which he didn't really like, two big bowls of applesauce, and a few bites of a piece of bread. Plus we gave him a "half and half" on the doctor's advice - half a sippy cup of Pedialyte and half milk. He was back to his old chipper self after dinner!
So far today (Monday), he's been great!
