Granny care

So.... yesterday was Kirby's last day at daycare for a while. Gary's mom is settled in her new place and starting today, she's watching him full time. I know that she says that it's her pleasure, but it really is quite generous of her and I know that we're lucky that he's being watched by a family member that loves him. We're not sure how long before we decide to put him back in daycare (so he can get used to playing with other kids, etc), but a large part of it will be up to Granny - just depends on how long she finds it fun instead of a job. :)

In other news, another yucky stomach bug hit the Miller household. Kirby was feeling "off" all weekend - mostly cranky, couldn't settle down for naps, etc. On Sunday evening, we were driving to meet another mommy and her family for dinner, when Gary looked into the rearview window and saw Kirby throw up all over himself. He pulled the car over and Kirby wasn't upset - just wet. I didn't have the phone number of the other mommy, so we drove to the restaurant to cancel and it turns out that her husband wasn't able to come b/c he was feeling sick, too. Originally, we thought Kirby was cranky b/c he was teething, but then we realized that there was probably another bug going around the daycare. Just great. :/

We drove to Wendy's for drivethru dinner and on the way home Kirby threw up all over himself again. By that time, he looked pretty sad. :( When we got home, we threw *everything* into the washing machine and scrubbed our hands. I wanted to Listerine the heck out of my mouth, too! Poor little guy was completely soaked when we took his clothes off, so we gave him a quick bath and put him to bed.

Thankfully, he slept well that night, but we took him to Granny's on Monday so he could get the extra TLC that he wouldn't get at the daycare. She said that he was definitely acting different (not his usual happy self), but by the end of the day he seemed to be doing better.

Not so much for Gary! He worked half a day and ended up spending the rest of the day in the bathroom. He was still sick the next day, but thankfully he was able to eat some and felt better by the evening.

I thought I had avoided it all until this morning. :( So far things aren't as bad as either of my guys, but I'm nervous waiting to see if it all kicks in! *fingers crossed* that I've already dealt with the worst of it!

Kirby's already 5 months old! I saw the idea for the blocks in a magazine, but I didn't see it until recently, so I missed the first 4 months. Oh well - better late than never!
