Happy Birthday Grampa John!

Hmmm, they should have called it the “Ugliest Baby Contest”!

Did you see the faces that even a mother could have trouble loving that appeared on Monday’s Live with Regis and Kelly? (Yeah, yeah, I know I’m a few days late in commenting on this … sorry) OK, there *were* a few cute kids there. But there were definitely quite a number of kids that got hit with the ugly stick. What were they doing? Stacking the deck in favour of the truly cute?

Needless to say, we didn’t see Aidan’s picture on the show. We figured as much … I’m sure the “finalists” were contacted by a PA in advance of the show. Didn’t bother me much, although with a trip to New York I’m sure we could have somehow arranged to see The Producers and/or Spamalot on Broadway. Somehow. I’m not sure where we would have found a baby sitter … but somehow. But I digress.

I hope that the mirror supply is high in the States, ’cause if *that’s* the creme de la creme of the babies, there’s bound to be a lot of broken mirrors!

Oh well. We all know who’s the cutest kid in our hearts.

Well you guessed it, Aidan has finally succumbed to a sickness. It has started out as a really stuffy nose and a little irritability. Now it has blossomed into a stuffy nose, irritability, tiredness and a sneeze followed by projectile vomiting. Luckily (and unluckily) he was in my arms and not in his bed when it happened.

I was just putting Aidan to be after supper (he ate well and was falling asleep in my arms) and I put him in his crib while I got everything ready. He was changed, the music was on and I just picked him up to turn on the outside light for Anthony. Then it happened. He mewed (a little like Andromeda does) sneezed and threw up. You should have seen his poor face, he didn’t understand why this was happening. At least he threw up on the tile . . . and on my hair, my shirt, his suit.

I took off his suit, my stuff threw some towels in the front hall and left a note on the door for Anthony. We then took a shower and Aidan just cuddled with me. Anthony came home just as we got out of the shower and took care of Aidan while I got the floor cleaned up. (I guess it is only fair since Anthony takes care of the cat box and cat vomit.)

Aidan seems to be feeling much better but very tired so he is already in bed and asleep. Hmm, I don’t think this is the way I want to get him in bed by 7:30 pm.

I will keep you posted on his recovery and I had planed to post some pictures from his music class. I will probably get to it tomorrow. Love to all.
