In the middle of the night on March 19th Miles woke us up stating he felt like he was going to puke. Not too much later he went running for the bathroom! I was so impressed that at 5 years old he was able to recognize the feeling and make it to the bathroom in time. So impressed! He was pretty miserable the next 48 hours. He hardly ever slows down, but with this illness he pretty much laid on the couch for an entire day. I enjoyed snuggling with him while it lasted. Just as he started to feel better Oliver came down with the same thing.
Oliver didn't do as good of a job at making it to the bathroom though! Lol! It was hard with him too because he acted like he wanted food and acted hungry but not too long after we gave him something to eat it would come right back up. He had the illness for about 48 hours as well. Oliver has a very sensitive gag reflex and ended up choking on something the next few days and would puke because he was choking. Oliver was very lethargic for 48 hours and only wanted Dad! We had to put Oliver back on a strict baby food only diet until his gag reflex slowed back down a bit. It took much longer than I expected for his ability to eat "real" food to return. Thankfully Dave and I were spared and didn't come down with this bug! Following the vomiting came diarrhea for both boys. Not fun at all!
The next weekend both boys were doing much better and I had a major case of cabin fever so we decided to do something fun and go for a hike! It was the perfect day. Our original plan was to go hike up Payson Canyon and do The Grotto trail. We've been told it is a very easy and quick hike so we figured it would be perfect for Miles. We never actually got to that trail because the road was closed. We ended up parking alongside the road right before the barricade and walked up the road a bit. We were still about two miles away from where the trail left the road. That was just too far of a walk for us so we went until Miles started complaining of being tired.
Miles didn't realize that we didn't make it to our original destination. He could care less. He got to throw rocks in the stream and explore a new place. He was in heaven! Even though Oliver was strapped to Dave's back the entire time I think he enjoyed getting out of the house and looking around.
It was the perfect day to get out in nature and spend some time as a family! Next time hopefully we can check out The Grotto!
