Hello from the Vomitorium

Unlike what I learned in school, vomitoriums were not places for people to yack in the good ol' days of those sons of guns Romans. A vomitorium is actually an entrance to the main seating in an ancient theater. Oh well, made for a catchy title to today's post.

Sophia seemed to get over the bug pretty quickly. Zach and I came down with the bug last night, after a terrific trip to the Strong Museum of Play in Rochester NY where we likely spread our germs at numerous exhibits unknowingly. And Steve just left the room 7 minutes ago with a look on his face that tells me he has now joined our little group.

We spent the day, lying around the house watching videos, and just hanging tight on the down lo. At least Sophia is doing well.

We had a wonderful time at Strong, where we actually ran into two friends out there! One from Rochester with her beautiful family, and another from DeWitt with her two oldest girls. Strange to drive an hour and a half from home to run into people you know. There is a new Lego exhibit, and it was a great way to get out of the house for a day. After the museum (we were there for 3.5 hours) we went to dinner at Aunt Mary's house. Of course, the kids passed out from exhaustion on the way there, and proceeded to sleep for an hour while we were there. I am so praying we didn't get Aunt Mary sick!

In good news, Zach continues his "I wish" but then added "a dream" a few days later, and a few days after that "I'm happy". He just blurt these words out, randomly. Thank God these are such nice positive words - because if they weren't it would be a little eery. Can you imagine your child randomly saying something ominous like: "the end" or "death to the mayor". Now that would be freaky. The weird things I think about compounded by my fever.

Zach had a bite of a banana, a bite of an apple, some tings, water, cranberry juice, and half a clementine orange. I think he is doing much better this evening. He certainly is taking it in stride, much like Sophia did. No school for Zach tomorrow though. Don't want to pass this around. If he does well tomorrow, then Tuesday we will go.

No fun being sick. But we are doing OK.

Sorry that Zach caught the bug and so did you. The museum sounds like a lot of fun - need to "hint" to my husband to take Anna to Chidlren museum of San Jose again. It sounds like Zach is quite a positive thinker - I bet he feels all the love you give him even though he doesn't know yet how to express himself.

So sorry to hear that you and Zach are sick. It was great to see you at the museum. I'm glad that all of you had a good time!
