For Esme's first Christmas she got her first ear infection and for Chan Chan's first Christmas he got his first stomach bug. Well it actually happened a few days after but close enough. School's been closed since December 23rd and so Allen and I juggled our schedules to take care of the kids during the holidays. One day while I was at work he threw up a few times and then it just snowballed from there. He was up most of the night, fussy, and just writhing around in bed. The next day he continued to throw up a few more times and felt warm most of the day. We cancelled our trip to Portland that weekend in order for Chan to recuperate and it took a few days but it finally happened. Unfortunately by the time that happened then Allen and I got the bug. Luckily for us it only lasted less than 24 hours and Esme never got it. Phew! Chan looks a little skinnier but I'm sure he'll bulk back up soon.
When Chan was sick we spent a lot of our day trying to help him and get him better. Esme didn't get as much of our attention as she might have been used to so we made a point to have some good one-on-one time with her when we could. She convinced mommy to walk to Starbucks with her for oatmeal and a milk steamer one day for lunch. And then she also convinced mommy to make matching pigtails with her :)
Mmmm...oatmeal and milk!
Matching pigtails!
Our goofy girl
And this is how she spent her quality time with dad. Not sure what they were up to???
