Poor Dylan had his first sick day from school last week. We overheard a mommy at the school talking to Dylan’s teacher about how he’d just gotten over a tummy bug. Well, is was just dumb luck that Dylan and I ended up getting the bug! Luckily (kinda), Dylan’s manifestation of the bug was just getting feverish (I got the tummy bug!). He still had a fever on Monday, so I kept him home, but on ibuprofen, he was just as energetic as usual.
After he did some spin art and pottery at home, my productivity came to a grinding halt, so since I wasn’t getting much rest or anything else done, I decided some sunshine and fresh air would be good for us (and, as long as I didn’t eat anything, I was just fine, so a few hours away from home was probably ok!), so we went to the beach….
Dylan was an absolute angel that day. I was feeling pretty weak and icky and, overall, he was so patient and helpful and sweet!
We both loved hanging out together. I had to tell him to not tell his teacher we went to the beach otherwise they might think he wasn’t sick! He really was sick, though. And, I stand by my conviction that fresh air and sunshine does a sick body good…It’s good for the spirits as well!
Oh, you can also see that Dylan finally agreed to get his hair cut! He’d been wanting to grow it out long, but his bangs were getting in his eyes. When we went to get them trimmed, he decided he wanted it all cut after all. We think it looks pretty good!
The next day, he was rearin’ to go to school! He missed his buddy Marlon, Jr. and teacher Juan!! Of course, Taliana picked him up from the after-school program, too….I guess as much as he liked hanging out with sick ol’ me, he still missed his buddies!
