Unbeknownst to me, when Lily woke up Wednesday morning her tummy wasn't feeling good. I left Lily sitting at the breakfast table while I ran downstairs to grab a pack of napkins. I'll spare you all the gory details...but suffice it to say what Lily thought was a burp...wasn't a burp! My poor sweetie. When I came back up the stairs you should have seen Lily's poor, sad face. It's been years and years since Lily threw up last. I don't think she knew what hit her!
Lily was so upset that she had been sick...and got even more upset when I told her not to worry we'd just get her all cleaned up and put on a fresh pair of pj's. Lily wanted to know why she would put on a pair of pajamas if she was going to school??? When I told Lily she would have to stay home you should've seen her sweet face. She was absolutely crushed! Lily told me in all sincerity that she thought she would have perfect attendance all the way through college. Have I ever mentioned my child is a tad Type A???
Tomorrow will be the third day in a row that Lily has missed school. Her upset stomach has morphed into more of a fevery head cold type thing now. Lily is definitely not herself. In fact, Sleeping Beauty went to bed last night at 8:00 pm and woke up today at 12:10 pm. Yes, you read that correctly! Lily slept for 16 HOURS!!!! Our girl LOVES her sleep, but this was a first.
Lily is a wonderful "patient" and we've made the most of this break in perfect attendance. We've spent plenty of time snuggling up on the couch, reading books, and watching The Sound of Music. As much as Lily LOVED watching a movie "when it wasn't even Movie Night", I know she will love it even more when she can go back to school!
Here's a sweet little picture of Lily when she was feeling A LOT better than she has the last few days.
