Titus ate about have of a snack size ziplock yesterday. As in, he ate the actual bag. What a stinker.
This morning, he told me his tummy hurt (I think he wanted me to give him candy or something). I told him to try going poopies. He said that he didn't need to go. I said, Titus, you know why your stomach hurts? Because you ate a plastic bag! He said, Oh, right. Ok.
LOL - what a stinker! Fortunately (is there really anything that is fortunate about eating a plastic bag?), he ate it in little pieces and not one big gulp so it should come "out" pretty easily. Not like the plastic spoon he ate a few years ago - ya, that is not a fun thing coming out. And to this day, we don't give him plasticware to use at parties.
Jiminy and Cricket (Jimmy and Crickey per Sammy) are in their new tank... it's fun seeing them really swim and spread out their legs. They are either totally frantic or having a great time swimming all around the tank. I am choosing to think they are happy with their new home. :) Now we'll see if they can find their food in the food dish!
So, I think we've had a version of enterovirus - it just is hanging on and is hard to fight!!! Phil's the sickest at this point. I think he got it the worst.
I have my first book study tonight. I can't remember the book I'm studying, but I'm getting together with other ladies. It's my first time doing this in, well, I'm not sure. I was part of a mom's group years ago. I hope I do a good job...
Phil's grandma's funeral is November 30th. I'm glad we all have time before "celebrating Gigi going to Heaven." I heard Phoebe ask Lily what a funeral was yesterday and that was Lily's explanation. It's when we celebrate Gigi going to Heaven. I wonder if they will be surprised at how solemn or tearful a funeral can be. I hope for their sakes that in their eyes it is a celebration that Gigi got to go to Heaven.
Last night, Lily was really emotional. I should have anticipated it, but I didn't. Looking back, it makes a lot of sense, and hindsight is always 20/20. Yesterday, we took my parents to the bus station to leave for Africa. Lily said after they left that she missed them and was trying not to cry. I didn't really think much of it, but last night the floodgates opened and she said life is just horrible right now because she misses Gigi and she misses Nana and PopPop. I felt awful. I didn't correlate her saying goodbye to my parents with missing Gigi, but I saw quickly how she had associated it all. My dad still had his phone on in the airport in Chicago waiting to board the plane so Lily was able to call and talk to him for a while. She doesn't want to initiate conversations with people right now. When I handed her the phone, she put her hands up in a panic and said she didn't know what to say. It's the same thing she did when she talked to Grammy a couple nights before. I said all she needed to say was hello. SO grateful that PopPop started talking right away and made it so easy for Lily to feel better. They talked for quite a while - it was really sweet.
Such an interesting time to walk through with children. So precious and yet so painful at the same time. I cried with Lily for a while last night while she was talking to PopPop. The tears came before I could stop them.
Everyone is so tired today - so naps it is. Hopefully we can have a good PT session today with Sammy and then Phil can have an easy evening with the kids while I'm out.
