All Aboard!

To celebrate Daniel's achievement of now becoming a "Big Boy" we rewarded him by taking him to the train of his dreams... a real life Thomas. First we prepared Daniel with Thomas shorts, a Thomas t-shirt, Thomas hat ... he was even wearing Thomas underwear! We headed out to Fillmore which was only about 45 minutes away. Of course, Daniel was so excited he didn't take his nap, but sleep is overrated right? We met up with Daniel's favorite cousin Jared and had a blast. Did I mention it was a little hot? So what is the best way to cool off on a hot day?

With shaved ice of course!

Misadventure

A week ago today, Daniel was admitted to the hospital for dehydration. The vomiting and diarrhea that had been going on for 4 days depleted him completely. He was admitted on Tuesday and immediately put on an IV. Poor Daniel, now is afraid of doctors. It didn't help that nurses had to wake him , check for vital signs and draw blood at midnight, 2 AM, and 6 AM. Of course we both stayed with him. We are so grateful to have him home again and eating. He is apparently now making up for lost meals. This is one adventure we hope to soon forget.
