My mom had been talking about taking Amelia on a special outing and so I planned to take Daniel on a special outing with me at the same time. Nana and Amelia went to the craft store and bought stuff to make a bird nest, eggs and a bird. They came back to the house with a whole family of birds, some fake grapes to feed them and paint to paint all the eggs different colors. They had a lot of fun. I had planned on talking Daniel to the flight museum that is near the library I take them to. I looked the internet to check hours, prices etc... well I guess I got the mailing address and not the museum's physical address, because we ended up at the airport and not the museum. I decided to just go to the library and follow the signs I always saw, when I got there they were closed, but they pointed me to a different kid of flight historic/museum place. Daniel was a trooper as I kept having to say, well this isn't it and we have to go somewhere else. He loves air planes and was super excited!! He loved to see all the different planes and how big they were.
The next day however was not as fun. Daniel woke up from his nap with the stomach flu. It was pretty rough on him and he couldn't keep anything down for about 12 hours. After that he started to get better, but it has taken a long time to get his tummy feeling completely better. Amelia too came down with the stomach flu the next week. It was a little less rough on her, but no fun none the less. I am glad that is over and that Michael and I didn't' come down with it as well. I am glad I had watched the reality TV show about the Duggers when they and their 5-6 little kids got sick. They put a paper towel into a paper cup and have that handy for when the little ones get sick. It worked so good for Daniel, and you just throw it away! Super easy clean up!
Daniel ate a lot of jello and crackers for a few days and his energy slowly came. We are glad most of the flu season is behind us!!
