1. Went to Duke Park at 7:30 yesterday with bagels and coffee and Dillo's aspect throughout was basically, "They made this WHOLE THING for me! To climb on! Look how great I am at climbing!" He really is, too; up stairs and away and cruising along. He's at the no fear age, but he does have some problem-solving ability. Is getting pretty good at the concept of dismounting butt-first (from the sofa, on stairs) rather than head first. He's increasingly moving towards walking (holding onto parent fingers) as his primary mode of locomotion, instead of crawling.
2. Casper has a stomach bug. Fever on and off, throwing up, diarrhea. I need to write this out, but it's really gross, y'all.
She didn't want to eat all day, but at about 2 mr. flea got concerned and got her to drink a glass of water and eat some cheddar bunnies while they watched Lion King 2 (ugh.) She sneaked out of the study to lie down on our bed and promptly threw up all over it - washed the sheets, pillows, mattress pad. She needed to be hosed off in the tub, too. I deal with the vomit in the household.
We had an okay afternoon and evening - some more movie watching, some reading, some lying about limply. mr. flea took the Dillo to his work party and they had a fine time (and brought me home baba ganouj!) Casper went to sleep in pajamas at about 9:30, seemed to be doing okay, no further throwing up.
At 1:30 mr. flea smelled something and woke me, saying Casper had peed the bed. Actually, she had had diarrhea, in her sleep, some several hours before, to judge from the state of things. Oh my it was nasty. More thorough bath time for her, entire bed into the wash. I think we'll have to throw away the futon - she missed the waterproof pad. I'll be browsing Craiglist today for mattresses. mr. flea handles the catastrophic shit incidents in the household, so he did the worst of it. Casper finished the night in my bed (and wiggled and talked).
She threw up some spit half an hour ago, and it again looking green and limp. mr. flea needs to work today. Dillo was up fpr the day at 5:45. SIGH.
