Emma was her happy go lucky self the entire drive home. We even pit stopped at our favorite cheap Chinese place for some lunch take out, and Emma chatted up a storm with the lady behind the counter that we love. She ate 2 giant servings of plain fettucine for lunch and didn't puke it up afterward. HOOray.
After Benjiboogles woke up from his nap, I decided to push the envelope and go into the village for some outdoor play time at Rocketship park and then over at the froggy misters in the marina. As per usual, both kids were soaked to the bone and went home in just their undies/diapers for the short ride home.
My brother in law (?) saw this pic and asked why Emma was standing in the dirty end and laughed that the sprayer was right in Ben's face. Well, Ben LOVES the powerful sprayers right in his face - hey, a free facial! and Emma is actually wading in the run off from the misters, a giant wood chip pool - takes the callouses right off the feet. (Do I know all the free beauty secrets or what?)
I purposely grilled up some steaks for dinner tonight knowing they were Emma's favorite meal. She ate about a third of what she normally would, but that is good as she hasn't eaten for days. She even had a solid poop tonight. Phew, she just may be beating the evil microorganism.
Both kids were looking pretty tired at 7pm so we put them to bed. Ben was protesting hard core and we could hear Emma talking to him to try and calm him down. She then started singing to him and he quieted down and we haven't heard a peep from either since. Sometimes, at moments like these, I am thankful we had them so close. We told Emma it was her job to make Benny feel relaxed and fall asleep and she succeeded like the champion she is.
