Tonoodle
[As transcribed by Daddy]
Mommy and I decided to take Basil and Cinnamon Bunny (whom I bundled up in doll clothing) for a nice walk around the block today, which we all felt like we really needed, what with us having been so cooped up over the past few days. We had some lunch, and then Mommy walked me to school, during which I invented what I'm calling "Alien Language":
Doodle n oodle ........ Hello
Doodle n addle ........ Goodbye
Doodle Odle ........ Happy Halloween
Tonoodle ........ I Love You a Bunch
Doodle n addle n urdle ........ Happy Valentine's Day
Woah Woah ........ Beard
Popera Addick-Boddick ........ Sandra Bullock
It was nice to be back at school - Mommy ran some errands while I was there and as such as too exhausted to pick me up, so Grandpa came and got me. I watched too much television when I got home, but did manage to do some reading and drawing with Mommy.
After Daddy got home from work, we all ate some really rare roast beef for dinner, and I kinda fought going to sleep for as long as possible.

Sickbowl Sunday
[As transcribed by Daddy]
Since my parents were both up late last night (Mommy was sick, Daddy was driving around buying Gravol), they slept in while I went and visited Gammy and Grandpa. They gave me a waffle.
Mommy managed to get up and help make me a lunch, but other than that she stayed in bed. When she wasn't in bed, she was asleep in the couch (which is still better than being sick in the bathroom). So - Daddy kept me pretty entertained during the day. We played video games, watched television, drew some pictures, took photos of Cinnamon Bunny, played with my dolls, ate snacks, and listened to music and stuff. It was pretty good! Daddy is so proud of my drawings and my imagination - you should see some of the cartoons I made today.
Hopefully I'm well enough to go back to school tomorrow (my appetite still isn't back to normal), seeing as how I've missed the last two days.

Mommy's Turn
[As transcribed by Daddy]
I was up pretty early today, and whined and moaned at my parents until they either woke up, made me some breakfast, or let me use the computer. After more whining, moaning, complaining, crying, and drama, I eventually fell asleep with them.
Daddy continued to sleep in while Mommy and I finished out the morning. After lunch, Daddy drove us to the grocery store where we did the weekly shopping, and then down to the butcher, where we finished off the weekly shopping. Daddy and I had ice cream and played video games when we got back.
I barely touched my dinner - my appetite still isn't back, but at least there wasn't any vomiting. Not from me, at least - Mommy's pretty badly afflicted right now, and has been sick all evening.

Projectile Vomit Distance Champ 2010
[As transcribed by Daddy]
As you can see from today's blog title, I'm not exactly better yet. For the better pat of the day I had very little appetite and wasn't my normal self... I didn't nap as much as yesterday, but was still kinda tired and subdued. Needless to say, I didn't go to school... I read and played games with Mommy today.
She went to school on my behalf to pick up my homework... by the time she got home, I was waiting for her at the door, a little bit more excited and happy. My appetite came back, and all was great! We had Daddy pick up some pizza on the way home from work. I took one bite of pizza, and...
...first I threw up all over Mommy, and then as I ran to the bathroom, I projectile vomited across the house! The three of us couldn't help but laugh. I mean, it was gross and everything, but... the sheer distance! Goodness!
I watched an awesome movie with my folks before bed.

On the Couch
[As transcribed by Daddy]
Last night I kinda threw up on Cinnamon Bunny - he went into the wash, so I snuggled with Nandy Panda as a backup. I was sick all night long... Cinnamon Bunny came out of the wash, Nandy Panda was cast aside, and I don't think I really slept until about 3 in the morning or later. Same with Mommy.
I spent the entire day on the couch with more tummy problems and a slight fever. Obviously, I didn't go to school - you can tell I wasn't feeling myself, because I wasn't really hungry throughout the day and ate very little. Mommy and I read a lot of books together, we watched some television, and I napped during the afternoon.
The Nixons are staying with Gammy and Grandpa again, so I visited them a little bit, but for the most part I just stayed on the couch. Hopefully tomorrow I'm feeling better - and if this is a virus going around (Leo and Claire had the same big, it seems) my folks might be in for a 'Norovirus Suprirse'.

Revenge of the Turkey Burgey
[As transcribed by Daddy]
Mommy and I kinda fought this morning, over how much television I was allowed to watch. I said some regrettable things which I immediately took back - I explained that I had just missed Mommy a lot while she was out last night (but not Daddy so much).
The day was okay - school was good and stuff. I helped Mommy prepare turkey burger patties for dinner - I really enjoyed pulverizing the heck out of them on the counter!
Daddy and I played some video games after he got back from work - we had dinner (the aforementioned 'turkey burgies") and then I went to bed... only to find myself being violently sick while I slept. Luckily Daddy heard me from the other room - he and Mommy cleaned me up (Cinnamon Bunny's in the wash) and tucked me in with them. I then proceeded to throw up all over their bed, too.
At least we all seem to have a pretty good sense of humour about it.

Six Thumbs Up
[As transcribed by Daddy]
I had a good day today - school was nice because we got to have gym class and we went to the library. However, I spent the better part of the day just excited to be having dinner with Gammy and Grandpa!
Once Daddy got home from work, he and Mommy went out for the evening... only to discover that one of their favourite restaurants is gone. You'll notice this keeps happening to all of our favourite stores.
Meanwhile, I got to have dinner with Gammy and Grandpa! It was so good it would be 'six thumbs up if I had three thumbs on each hand.'. Then Gammy and I pretended to be baboons, we had a snack, and Grandpa but me to bed as Gammy watched the same program my folks are watching over at Nik's house.

CLOVER EAT BREAKFAST
[As transcribed by Daddy]
I kept off of the computer today - I think that before the day ended I had only accrued ten minutes altogether of video games and stuff. Not bad! I spent some time other ways - playing, making a big fruit salad with Mommy, and stuff like that.
School was good (but I'm pretty jazzed about school tomorrow, when we go to the library and have gym class), and then I came home and took it easy with Mommy. I brought home a big mixed media piece I did where I glued bits of cereal to a piece of paper and drew myself eating it, captioned 'CLOVER EAT BREAKFAST'.
Daddy and I watched some television before I went to bed - Mommy had a bit of a happy existential moment when she saw the two of us sitting together on the couch. Sometimes it blows her mind that the little baby she brought home from the hospital not to long ago is now a pretty opinionated, creative, and amazing little person.

Couch Testing 2
[As transcribed by Daddy]
This morning, while Daddy slept, I built a furniture fort in his bedroom and had a grand old time, hooting and hollering and playing with my toys and stuff. He slept through it completely! Mommy was counting on it waking him up, in fact. No dice.
Once he woke up and we had our lunch (ask me how much I hate sauerkraut soup and I'll talk your ear off), we decided to head off for another Sunday of couch shopping. We hit up Vaughan Mills and checked out some stores out there, and then I persuaded my parents to take me to the mall for some bubble tea.
We went to Ikea next - I had a bit of a meltdown when I couldn't play with the toys there (I'm just too big), but whatever. We had a nice drive home, and an even nicer dinner - home made chicken nuggets and yam fries!
Mommy got a pretty bad headache when it was time for bed, so I read to her instead of the other way around.

Ice Cream in Winter
[As transcribed by Daddy]
We all slept in today! Must be due to the fact that it's so cold out there - staying cozy just makes so much sense. Mommy and I made muffins this morning, visited with my Grandparents, and played video games.
After we were all up and had our lunches devoured, we had some errands to run... so Daddy waited in line at the post office for a year, and then we went to the butcher and got some meat and stuff. At that point, the day was still young, so we tried to think of something to do. We figured - it's the dead of winter, coldest day of the year... let's go for ice cream and go to the beach! So we did! Lots of fun.
After the ice cream and the beach, we hit up a mall we hadn't been to, visited a toy store and just kinda bummed around, came home, and had a delicious dinner.
