eBay had a day your kids to work day on April 23rd. Mommy was very excited. Tyler's new personality was great and she was looking forward to bringing Tyler to the office.
Tyler typically has the same schedule everyday. Wakes up anywhere between 6:00 - 6:30, eats breakfast between 7:30 - 8:00, goes to school by 8:30, has a snack at between 9:00 - 9:30, has lunch between 11:45 - 12:15, nap from 12:30 - 2:30, snack again at 3:00. Between all the times listed above he has all sorts of different activities at school, from reading, drawing, art, playing outside, etc ...
But of course, he decides he wants to nap at 9:00am on this particular day. So mommy had to bring him in his stroller and park him at her desk for a while. This doesn't seem like a bad thing, but Tyler has a new thing where he wakes up from sleeping VERY grouchy! And as mommy thought, this is exactly what he did. He cried and everyone came to see him, which made him cry even more!
Luckily a lot of people have random toys at their desks (and mommy brought a toy bag as well) ... so after about 10 minutes of fussing, he was running between the cubes and pushing a big exercise ball through the aisles.
Right before lunch, we then headed to eBay's North campus (mommy works at the South campus) where the main activities were going to be. There is a HUGE grassy area and LOTs of things to do. Bouncy houses, tricycles, balloon man, face painting, carnival games, and food. It was a pretty HOT day, so mommy decided to start with a snow cone. Tyler has had shaved ice back in Hawaii ... but I'm not sure he knew this would be similar. Right as we were about to sit down and enjoy our snack ... Tyler starts coughing up a fit. Before mommy knew it BARF was everywhere. Mostly on the grass, but pretty much also all over his shirt. And boy was it gross. Mommy quickly removed Tyler's shirt and wiped up as much of it off his face and shamelessly headed for the car before more people stared at us.
Back at the car, Tyler still wanted to eat the snow cone. So we ate it in the back of the Tahoe. In the meantime, mommy called daddy to make Tyler an appointment to see the doctor. From past experiences ... Tyler barfing has always lead to him being sick.
Low and behold ... Bronchitis AND ear infection. BOOOOO! 10 days of antibiotics, 4 oz twice a day. :( After the weekend, he could go back to school. *sigh* This surely wasn't the day mommy had planned. Tyler didn't get to participate in any of the cool activities.
