There’s nothing like a tummy bug to ruin your plans is there?
Amy told me last night that she really wasn’t feeling all that well and I fully expected her to have been sick when I went in to check on her before I went to bed, but the coast was clear and I assumed we were safe.
I was wrong.
As soon as I opened her bedroom door this morning I was hit by the smell. Amy had been sick all over her bed but she was nowhere to be seen. The poor little sausage was fast asleep on the floor in her playhouse. Instead of shouting or crying, she’d got her duvet and gone back to sleep on the floor.
I popped her in the shower to try and get her cleaned up whilst shouting to Ben to ask him to make breakfast for him and Chloe. Luckily I’m working from home today so we weren’t in a mad rush and I was able to get the bed striped and everything in the machine before we had to be out on the school run. Typically my car is in the garage so I had to drag Amy out on the school run looking not so much ghostly pale but actually grey – it was one of those rare times where I really missed having a pushchair! Thankfully I was able to just leave Chloe at the Juniors with Ange and bring Amy home again rather than have to go to the Infants with her and she was back on the sofa by just after 9am with Cbeebies and a sick bowl.
Of course the timing is impeccable. Tomorrow is her Nursery visit at school – the only chance she will get. Oddly our school don’t do the home visits which seem to be par for the course everywhere else. I’m so disappointed for her as she was so excited about going to see her new teachers and explore her classroom. I had also planned to take her out to the farm tomorrow for a special #MummyandBo day ahead of her starting school. We were both really looking forward to it – I just hope I can find an opportunity to rearrange it for her before the end of term!
And so, my day of getting stuff done has become one of sick bowls, cuddles and stolen moments on my laptop whilst she snoozes. I can’t wait to see her smile again.
Ah bless her I know how those days go we have been struck loads recently with sick bugs. Help she feels better soon x
She’s snoozing again at the moment- hopefully it will just be a 24hr thing x
Oh poor Amy, I hope she’s feeling better soon x
She’s having a really tough day but being so brave. She hasn’t left the sofa since we got back from school at 9am.
Awwww bless her. Mine would never go back to sleep again.
I hope she is feeling better soon.
She’s basically been asleep all day ?
Oh no! I hope that she is feeling okay? Megan was poorly yesterday, she just slept all day. This morning she got up and it was as though it never happened! Kids bounce back so fast!
She’s having a really tough day. She’s barely been awake all day. I’m desperately hoping she feels better tomorrow x
Aww poor girl I hope she’s better now, big healing virtual hugs xx
She’s having such a tough day x
She’s no better unfortunately. I just need her to keep some water down.
I hope she is feeling better now and all is well. Did you make it to the Nursery visit and the farm? Hope it all went well.
No she spent most of today asleep on the sofa recovering but has been much more her usual self this evening thankfully. She had me quite worried yesterday x
Oh poor Amy, we’ve just been through this too – this time I was woken up at midnight by a funny noise… closely followed by the smell! Waaaahhh 😉
