He threw up twice during the night: one before midnight, and once after. He was then up around 7. Carly put him on the grey couch upstairs. When I got up a bit later they had just started watching Brother Bear. We went downstairs and he watched Magic School Bus. Carly left a quarter to 10 to go to the pharmacy and big Tiv Taam.
While she was gone we played with the balloon, then read Dr. Seuss. We read The King’s Stilts. He drank some orange juice and had me play a little Seuss Band. He then asked “How can you see color?” We watched a SciShow Kids video on how we can see color and then he watched a couple other SciShow Kids videos about amazing animals.
Carly was home before 11:30. She had bought a bunch of Gatorades and medicine and a pedialyte sort of thing. He requested a smoothie, so she made a strawberry and mango smoothie. He also had some of the Pedialyte. Eventually he had 5 drinks lined up on the table, including orange juice, Gatorade, and water.
I went up and took a shower. They went outside and made slime. He had a lot of fun doin that, then they came inside and he had some toast. He was humming a Seuss Band song and giggling. He was copying how I was resting my right leg on my left knee as I lay on the couch and asked how I did that. He then noy d that he didn’t have five drinks anymore. He mentioned that I was drinking a drink (Gatorade) and Carly asked if he wanted some. He chose to have blue.
We read The Sneetches and Other Stories, then moved to the iPad for more Seuss: Fox in Socks and The 500 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins.
August had been laughing a lot through the first two books and the beginning of the last book, but then got quiet and very cuddly. When we finished he looked ready for a nap. He did some coughing but didn’t throw up. When Carly came down and asked if they should go upstairs and try to nap he gave her a thumbs up.
She took him up just after 3 and they fell asleep together. She was down sometime later, then went and woke him up about 4:30. He was sniffly and sneezy and drowsy when she brought him down. We took his temperature under his arm as he seemed warm. 37.2. She put on The Magic School Bus for him.
He turned it off after awhile. He was blowing his nose well the other day, but was resistant to it now. Carly finally got him to do it a bit. He had some toast and was humming and sniffling and eating. They then started reading The 52-Story Treehouse. He pointed out when she had read the word ‘stupid’. But then he said “I will not give you a consequence. Only dada can get a consequence.” I told him this injustice was going on the blog.
I took over reading after a few chapters. We read a few more, then he was asking about the colors and flavors of Gatorade. He then made up flavors: “Inflatable tube man flavor… I’ve heard of it. At Mulberry School.” We read The King’s Stilts again, then The Bear, the Rabbit, and the Zinniga-Zanniga.
Carly went up and got his bath ready. I held him for a few minutes. Seemed about ready to fall asleep in my arms. He had a nice bath though. Took him in and got him ready and I said goodnight at 8:20. He was asleep soon after.
