So sorry I’ve been MIA this week. It was one of those wretched weeks because Bud and I got hit with a gnarly stomach virus. It wiped us both out and my folks were out of town. Can I ask you something? Have you ever had to care of a vomiting toddler whilst vomiting yourself? No? Well, I have. And it was the worst two days of my life. Like seriously, the worst. BUT we survived it and I think it was a rite of passage for mamas doin’ the care taking on their own. It was a rough week and sadly since I was so sick, I had to miss a dear friend’s funeral which broke my heart.

I will say, weeks like these make me so grateful for our health. Every time I was getting violently ill I prayed for families who have to deal with this all the time. I’ll never take it for granted. Also- I realized how much I love having my mama around. She came back late Wednesday night and Thursday morning when Bud started to wake up, she met me at his door and told me to get my skinny-sickly tail back in bed and she’d take care of Bud that morning. I didn’t put up a fight one bit and just marched my way back to my bed for a much needed 2 more hours of rest. I woke up feeling totally refreshed and beyond grateful for her because I knew she must have been jet-lagged and tired too! Mamas are the best.
So on Thursday the sun came out and I was able to eat solids cotton candy so we went to the fair. And then… I made out with a camel.
oh hello camel, would you like some food?
no, my son’s hat doesn’t count…
oh cute camel, now take a picture with us. why do you have that look in your eye?

Have a great weekend yall!
