Savannah's Weblog

We went looking for her a bathing suit today. She loves to run around the house in hot weather in her bathing suit. Last summer we got the kind with the foam floating sewn into the suit. Great idea, but strange for running around the house and even stranger worn under clothes, not meant for the car seat either.

So far, Gap Kids or Gymboree has my vote. Still don't want to pay full price, but theirs are fully lined.

I was exhausted by the time we left the last store. Savannah had left some stickers in one of the stores, but I just couldn't go back looking for them. We'd been on two levels of Old Navy and all over the Sears children's section, plus the bathroom. She cried. I distracted her. Amazing how relaxing being at home is.

We will go outside this afternoon to play on the deck. 80+ degrees!

Tonight Savannah asked, "Can I have a Craft-Matic adjustable bed so I can watch tv?"

When she complained this morning of her stomach hurting I wondered if her turn had come for this stomach bug. By noon she said her belly was too icky to eat lunch. She lost her pound cake not much later. (Fortunately I was given enough time to clean up Seth's awful diarrhea and its aftermath.)

She handled it beautifully. Her first stomach bug two years ago is still vivid in my mind. She would not stay over the potty. There was so much to clean up. But knowing what was coming this time, I put her on the couch, a towel spread under "the bucket." I was in another room when I heard coughing. She was using her bucket, calm as can be. I directed her to the potty telling her how good she had done. She lost the rest of the contents of her stomach. "I said there goes your pound cake." She said, "What?" Then she asked for a wipiee. I put her back on the couch and gave her a little water. She probably won't want pound cake for a while.

But I'm so proud of how she handled it. I remember how I hated the process of throwing up. I would swallow and swallow trying so hard to stop it from happening. That actually worked one time. Her not fighting it makes it easier on all of us.
