Two evenings before his 10th birthday Colby came down with a wicked case of the stomach flu. It was the worse case I've ever seen as a mother. This boy was SICK SICK SICK. Around 11pm I told Steve if he didn't start slowing down being sick, I was going to take him to the hospital. Luckily, he was able to get a little sleep and was feeling a little better by morning.
Colby skipped church on Sunday and ran a fever most of the day. I won't go into further details but he was still showing symptoms of the flu all day too. By Monday morning, he kind of felt like eating. Happy Birthday Colby...an English muffin is all you got!
He also felt good enough to open his one and only present. (Some presents cost enough that Mom and Dad can only afford to buy one. Legos don't come cheap!)
Hurray for Legos and a sick day to stay home all day and build.
Legos are pretty popular around these parts. They make almost all the Dixon kiddos happy!
The blanket came out and the set was built by noon.
Colby spent Tuesday and Wednesday home from school too. This virus was a doozy.
But Tuesday night he begged for his Birthday meal. 30 count chicken nuggets were on the menu.
He spaced them out over the next few meals.
Last night everyone felt up to celebrating for reals. Colby ordered a scotcharoo cake with extra topping.
Let's get a closer look at that cake shall we??
It was hands down the ugliest cake I have ever made. And after the stomach flu in the house...it looked even more disgusting. (details of my true feelings are being filtered...but use your imagination.)
But Colby was thrilled with his cake and that made the ugliness worth it!
Best picture...ruined by a photobomb finger.
It's good to be TEN!
Andrew was gone at drivers ed and missed the celebration...but ate treats later.
Happy Happy Birthday Colby Love!
