Sick and Sun

 Last Wednesday after Paige got home from school she seemed really tired. She never takes naps anymore but I encouraged her to take a nap so we laid in my bed until she fell asleep. I didn't think anything of it and she took a good two hour nap and once she was awake around 4 she got up to go to the bathroom and I hear crying. Nate and I go in to check on her and she was sitting on the toilet and had thrown up all over the bathroom floor. Yucky! So we put her in the shower and Nate sat with her while I cleaned everything up and tried not to throw up myself. The smell of throw up has never been a good one for me. Poor little girl! It is never fun to be sick. So she slept in our room that night on the floor so I could help her if she needed to throw up again but she slept through the night which was good. On Thursday she stayed home from school and we had a nice lazy day. I made her a comfy bed in the front room so she could watch Mary Poppins (her favorite movie). She was really good at sipping at different drinks but wouldn't eat anything. In the afternoon she took a long shower and then another long nap.
Friday morning she seemed a lot better and even went to the dentist but about lunch time she was out of energy and took another nap. She wouldn't eat anything which probably didn't help and she enjoyed another long shower that evening. Being sick she would lay in the shower and most of the time when I could go and check on her it would look like she was sleeping but she was just enjoying her shower.
 Saturday was finally the day where our little girl was back to herself. It was nice to see her energy back and her smile. Saturday was a gorgeous day so we went on a little walk on the Soos Creek Trail. Being sick she also watched a lot of Doc McStuffins and so she likes to be Doctor Paige now and carries her stuffed animals around with her so some of her animals got to go on the walk with us.
 A huge skunk cabbage leaf.
 On this part of the trail you walk by someone's farm. Paige loved seeing the horses and this horse walked over to be by us. We kept track of all the creatures we saw on our walk today- horses, dragon flies, little fish, birds, a snake, and a dead mouse. Paige loves being outside and looking at all the different creatures and plants that were around.
 Yesterday the weather got up to 80. We love having the nice warm weather and want to be outside all the time. It has been a long and rainy winter and has lasted longer than normal so we are ready for the sun. It was such a nice day that we decided to go to Nona and Papa's so Paige could run in the sprinkler. She was very tentative at first but then she got going and loved it.
 She loved adjusting the height of the sprinkler and then it was lots of........
Jumping over the water,
 Running back and forth through the water,
 Getting drinks,
 Somersaults, 
 And cart wheels.
 I love this little girl so much!
 And of course her animals had to come join the fun and got to watch Paige play in the sprinkler.
 And then it was some sun bathing to dry off and staring in the sky looking at the airplanes fly by.
