After Brunch Caleb and Isaac took a "vacation bath." It's a spa bath every where else. The first time Keegan took one he said, "That was a nice vacation." And it stuck. Sometimes they'll even order drinks and snacks during their "vacation." As every one was coming to his party, I was telling Caleb to come and eat. I made his favorite...mac n cheese. He complained about his belly hurting. I figured it was because he hadn't really eaten since brunch and he was hungry. His Aunt Tori tried to get him to come in the kitchen and take a few bites so he'd feel better...next thing we knew he threw up on the couch. So....the party went on with the food. I went and asked him if he wanted to blow out the candles. He said, "I'll come and blow them out and then I'll come right back." So we cut out a section of his cake with candles on it, so as to not contaminate the whole cake. We sang, he blew, sat for a second, and then crashed on the couch.
He woke up about 1 1/2 hr later as everyone was leaving and wanted to open presents. He opened 3 and then said he needed to lie back down, so he laid down...then he threw up. He mustered up the will power to finish opening his presents but with no visible enthusiasm. The pic with the play doh box was as much "smile" as we could get. He did make us laugh, because when he was all finished opening the presents he turned to Todd and said in his weak voice, "What about my bunk beds?" We promised him when he turned 4 we would set up the bunk beds for him and Isaac (although I'm not quite ready for Isaac to be out of the crib). He obviously had only one thought on his mind besides not feeling well. I was up with him the whole night. :(
The next day Caleb was a different boy. He was overjoyed with all his presents and couldn't wait to play with all of them.
