Memorial Day Weekend

What I have discovered is that I feel tons better outside, and a walk around the block does me a world of good. Even if all I seemingly want is to lie down and threaten anyone who jostles the bed or couch, if I just walk around outside I feel so much better. It's amazing. So I've been getting out a bit each day.

This weekend we put Tyler in his new bike seat and Elmo helmet and biked around a bit. Also, we joined DPOP/Sen. Harmon in the Memorial Day Parade through River Forest and it was so pretty out. I ate an apple on the route, sharing it with Tyler who has just discovered biting and chewing apples. So Sunday and Monday were lovely.

Friday and Saturday were bad, I could barely move. Saturday was a two-puke day, and Tyler does not understand that Mom-Mom doesn't feel well. He loves water and to play in the water in the sink, to brush his teeth any chance he can get, and drink water from his bathroom cup. So, he sees me in the bathroom hovering over the sink and running water, he wants in on the action! He just doesn't realize what I'm doing. You can't explain that too well to a 20-month old, tho maybe next time he is sick I can teach him the word "sick" or something like it and he will get the concept. He was so funny. He's only as tall as the bathroom counter, and he would push his head in between me and the sink and peel my arms off the sink and push them away and say "go, go!" Then I'd stand there incredulously while he'd realize that (of course) he couldn't reach the water, and so would turn to me with "up, up!" Which of course I could not manage for him!
