So Sam had his first bout of stomach flu over the weekend. It started on Friday morning, Sam seemed more cuddly than usual, and then he had two bouts of diarrhea. Nasty stuff. In the afternoon, I put Sam down for a nap and was in the process of finishing up packing for the weekend. We were getting ready to head down to Belleville to visit all of Tim's extended family to celebrate his grandma's (we call her Babi) 80thBirthday. We were also going to celebrate Sam's first birthday on the Sunday. Anyway, about 30 minutes after Sam went down for his nap, he started fussing. Which is odd, because he usually sleeps at least an hour in the afternoon. So I went in to check on him. I don't know what it was, whether he looked a little lethargic, or what, but I stroked his brow and said "You don't feel well do you?"...and moments after I said that, Sam vomited everywhere. Literally. It was in his crib, down the sides of the crib, on the carpet, in his little toy basket...what a mess.
Needless to say, we did not go down to Belleville. We did not get to do any celebrating. But we did get to share lots of cuddles over the next 4 days while he was sick. It's the only time he ever cuddles. And the exciting part is Grandpa and Grandma will be coming down to visit this weekend, bringing with them the extremely cool Sofie la Giraffe cake that they got specially made for Sam. Can't wait!

It was Aunt Lorraine who had the Sophie cake made and brought it with her from Montreal. We'll be bringing birthday presents too! And we can't wait to see all of you! Sammy save some cuddles for us!
Love Nana and Grumpa
Glad to hear he's feeling better. That looks like a really cute cake.
