Sad day

We were having such a good week and then Conner woke up with a "Mom, my tummy hurts." I mean, what mom likes to hear that phrase. It is more likely that they dread it.

Sure enough, his tummy had troubles all day. But that didn't stop him from sneaking in some not-on-the-B.R.A.T-diet-approved-list-for-tummy-days foods. Like um, well, let's see.....strawberries, and a frosted sugar cookie (word to the wise-do not allow your children to have anything colored with blue or green food coloring on a tummy trouble day). Could I get him to eat toast or bananas or even drink soda? Not so much.

We are grateful to the library for providing us a plethora of random movies (Wonder Pets, Thomas, TMNT (the original), etc) and to Redbox for providing "Enchanted" so this mom didn't go stir crazy with kid show overload.

Today, is thus far starting out better and he actually slept through the night, or at least what most of you would think of a night. Since he woke up at quarter to seven, this mom felt that her "night" had been deprived by an hour or two.
