Mostly Wordless Thursday

It all started for me Tuesday night with a long night spent mostly in the bathroom instead of bed. I should've been prepared as Carter just wasn't himself this past weekend, wanting to be carried the entire time at the zoo when he typically walks the entire time until we get to the parking lot. Then on Monday he had a very liquid #2 accident at the park. He was at the top of the slide, clean pants. Then he walked away from the slide and had dirty pants. The boy really never acts very sick and hardly slows down at all. If it hadn't been for our zoo adventure and then the accident at the park I wouldn't have thought he was sick. But then it hit me Tuesday. Ty decided to go to work Wednesday morning but was home shortly after as it hit him on his way into work. So yesterday was spent trying to survive the stomach bug while also tending to Carter and Elise. A post just wasn't going to happen. To give you an idea of how terrible I felt, I usually hit a minimum of 12,000 steps each day but typically more in the range of 15,000-18,000 steps and yesterday topped out at 6,000. And I only got that many because I started to feel a little bit better around bedtime and walked around picking up the house. Before dinner I hadn't even hit 2,000 steps! So here is Wordless Wednesday a day late and also hoping Miss Elise comes out of this unscathed as so far she has been feeling perfectly normal!

Carter wanted me to lay Elise down with him so he could share his blanket.

He loves feeding her!

But she loves feeding herself!

I decided to change Elise's diaper on the floor and she took off rolling away.

Sister took a nap at 5:00 so she wasn't tired at bedtime and we got to play for an hour after Carter went to bed. It was so much fun!

Ty attempting to eat during the stomach bug.

Carter and Landon touching a star fish at the aquarium.

He wasn't interested in me boosting him up to touch the shrimp, he wanted to do it himself!
