Today was a hard day. Not because of Zach, but because of me! I became very sick today. As soon as I woke up this morning I knew it was going to be a loooong day. I started to feel a little bit better and even sent Dave on up to watch the military parade. I so wish I would not have done that! I ended up getting very sick and I just know I scared Zach to death. Up until now we have been able to “fake” the “oh yeah we are in control we know what to do attitude” even if we were a little unsure. Zach was wide awake and playing away when I became very sick and had to go visit the WC. Poor guy just sat there in the hall with the door open not knowing what to do. After I could talk again he guessed he could crawl around and all is well. Then another violent attack came and I had to go get him before he got a hold of our “free wire” that is hanging in the kitchen. We usually stay in the TV room with the door closed, so I did not have the kitchen door closed. Anyway – it was an ugly few moments. Poor little guy! Me being sick down the small hall way and he playing chase. Oh so not pretty!
We collected ourselves and Zach finally took a nap. Just as I was free to “clean up” the housekeeper came in. Yeah, I know. She thinks I’m crazy and a bad mother. Zach fell asleep on the floor and that’s where he stayed! I was too afraid I would drop him or be sick. Anyway, I sent Dave a text message to get back ASAP. He did. He found me in the WC and Zach waking up. I kept thinking she is going to call Russia’s version of Child Protective Services.
Anyway, I think this stomach bug has passed. I have not eaten anything and I am finally keeping down water. I don’t know if it was something I ate or not. Or just fun luck! Of course now my fear is Zach and Dave. I hope it was not a virus that passes, and that is was something I ate!
With all that about me said let me tell you about the best two guys, Dave and Zach. Dave came back to the apartment and took over little man. I was absolutely no use to my boys. I tried doing little things, but I just seemed to get in the way and be moving in slow speed. I was so proud of Dave! I mean he has been hands on this whole time, but he really just shined with Zach. Truly I believe God gave me this fun “stomach rot” (learned that phrase here) so that Dave and Zach would have some serious bonding time. Of course the DVD player was introduced to Zach, and a little Baby Einstein was played. And I think he said “dada” to him a million times trying to get him to say “dada” and mean it as Daddy not yes yes. (Bless them both.) They even took a stroller ride outside. Because of the holiday they have closed or limited the amount of cars on the “garden circle” which our apartment is on so the traffic has been fairly light today here. Right now the streets are completely closed and it’s peaceful! Love it!
Despite the sickness today overall it was a good day. I pray that this bug is gone and that tomorrow we will back to full strength. I am going to go crash now!!
