Sickies go away...

Poor Paigie wa so sick yesterday and this morning. She couldn't keep any food down most of yesterday. I spent all afternoon sitting in the comfy chair holding her and helping her through all the barfing. She just leaned on me and slept, cried, whined and threw up. Poor poor baby. She was still slow and clingy this morning, but made big improvements by the afternoon. I think she's on the mend.

Jeff has been sick too. He has a cold and a constant headache. He stayed home with all of us today which was nice. He ended up having to go in to work this evening to do some server stuff... whatever it is, it's taking a long time and he needs some sleep.

Today I noticed my driver's license is expired. It expired a YEAR ago. Weird thing is, I've been using it as my ID and no one has said anything. I have rented two cars, traveled, been pulled over, purchased alcohol (including from a liquor store) and got a passport for Paige all using that expired license. Strange. I'm sure I've also written checks and don't they often write the exp date of your license on them? Hmmmm. I'll notice that now.

The kids and I were watching The Incredibles today after Jeff left and Cam would not stop talking. Not for a second. Seriously. You'd think he'd run out of questions or things to talk about, but not my child. I did get a little frustrated a couple of times, but then I remember he's only four and someday way too soon I'll be trying anything to get him to talk to me more. Anyway, we had this conversation for a while. I wrote it down as fast as I could so I could be as accurate as possible. Every other line is Cam and then me:

Mom, how did she know he was on the island?
The transponder told her
What's a transponder?
a device in his suit that tells her where she is when she pushes that button
Did he know it was in his suit?
No.
Why is it there?
So they can find him
who put it there?
The lady who made is suit
Who?
The lady who makes the suits
Who?
THE LADY!!
His mom?
Do you mean his wife?
Yes, his wife?
No, the suit lady
What lady?
The lady with short black hair
The one his mom is talking to?
You mean his wife.. yes.
That's a man.
No, it's a woman
no, man
okay.
It looks like a man, mom
Okay, Cam, ,it can be a man.
Maybe it is a woman.
I think it is
Mom, how do they know he is on the island?
Cam, how do YOU think they know?
Maybe the transponder?
Yes, honey. The transponder.
Oh.
Mom?
Yes.
How does the mom stretch into a balloon??

CAM! Don't you need to be annoying in another room?
Mom?
Yes.
I love you.
I love you too, Cam.

Here's a picture of the lady who makes the suits. HER name is Edna. I did laugh because I thought it was a guy too until Jeff corrected me :)
