Yesterday Elijah came down with stomach flu-like symptoms just a few minutes before Daddy was going to take him to Nana's house. Thankfully, Nana still allowed him to come over and took extra good care of him. She went to the store to buy things to help him feel better, like applesauce and bananas. He seemed to feel okay throughout the day but became sick again on the way home with Daddy :-(
Today Elijah is still sick. We were hopeful when he slept well, but it was obvious within just a few minutes of waking up that he still wasn't feeling well. To the sink, then to the bath. But he was such a trooper. If it weren't for the things he couldn't control, you wouldn't even know he feels sick.
Grandma Voss volunteered to watch Elijah tonight to give Mommy a break :-) I didn't think I would need one but took advantage of the offer anyway so I could surprise Shawn with a date night. We took Shawn's '67 LeMans to Earl's (about 40 minutes south of Holland) and got strawberry shortcake... mmm it was SO yummy (worth the drive)! Knowing that Elijah was in great hands, we had a lot of fun, and it felt like we were dating again. No house stress. No parenting stress. No work stress. Just flirting and enjoying a ride in the old car.
We canceled our plans to go to Sandy Pines tomorrow (with my family) and will be spending the day at home. Just another pajama day for our sick little man... but I like these too.
