Sick Day

Well, we were all ready for work and school this morning, when right after I did Emily's hair, she said "Mommy sick", and proceeded to throw up all over the bathroom floor. Made it to the toilet for the next two times...ugh!! Needless to say I had to scramble to get Auntie JuJu over here as soon as she could, call my school secretary to get a sub, drive out to school to leave a very quick sub note, and then back home to take care of the wee one so JuJu could go to work!

Emily has had a bad cough for a couple days with all of the drainage, and I believe this is what made her sick. No fever and no loss of appetite, but she is going to stay home one more day tomorrow with Auntie JuJu because Mommy has a field trip scheduled at school!

Tonight Miss Emily was drawing at her easel with her new markers and drew Mommy a picture of a person's face and at the bottom she signed her name. She has drawn faces before, but tonight was the first time she drew a face and then when I said to her, "Where is the hair?" she proceeded to add the spikes of hair at the top all on her own!!  I'm sure in the picture you can pick out the letter E, but all of the rest of the writing around the E she says is her name. As she was writing it, she said "E," then mumbled some names of letters," as if she was spelling Emily. She then proceeded to take the picture off the easel and gave it to mommy with a big kiss and an "I wuv you." Talk about a tear jerker moment!

Great moment for Emily and Mommy!
Enjoy,


See the face with hair and her name at the bottom
