Things have not gotten better here on the flu front. Just when I thought AJ was turning a corner, he seemed to have come down with either a second virus or the first one came back to kick him when he was already down. To make matters worse, Joe was infected by our very cute but very lethal weapon of mass destruction, AJ. This brings AJ's body count to 7 on the number of family and friends he has infected. The worst part is that we had to cancel our trip to Florida to visit AJ's great-grandparents this weekend. We are looking forward to rescheduling soon so that AJ can go hunt Hot Wheels cars with his great-grandpa.
On a positive note, I am relieved to report that I have been able to handle the clean up part of being a mom with a sick kid. I distinctly remember having the flu when I was six or seven and watching my mom scrub the carpet in my room where I had been sick. When I got into my late 20s and seriously started to think about having kids of my own, I remembered seeing my mom do that and worried that I wouldn't have the stomach to clean up after my kids when they were sick. I guess there is a mom reserve or survival instinct in me somewhere, because so far I have been able to weather this with AJ.
Here is a picture of my little sickee guy.
