"Sick" Day

So, Aimee came in this morning complaining about a tummy ache and claiming that she was "too exhausted to get ready for school." I spent the next 1/2-hour trying to convince her that she would feel better if she got dressed and got her mind off of it....to no avail. I wasn't up for a battle, and she has been having quite a few "tummy aches" lately. I didn't want to send her off to school if something was really wrong.

Well, I think she is going to be okay as she has had quite the morning with Nathan. I warned that there would be no TV, Wii, or computer games, but she has kept plenty busy. They are, at this very moment, playing 'Whack-a-Mole.' No more tummy ache! Aimee has gone through her flash cards, started reading 'Little House in the Big Woods,' eaten a peanut butter sandwich, and managed to get on iTunes and listen to some 'Mamma Mia' (I think I even saw a couple of cartwheels when she didn't know I was watching.)

Tomorrow she will be going to school.

That's hilarious- especially Aimee's comment! It looks like getting her mind off of it really did help her get better! I hope she has a good day at school tomorrow!!!

Ha ha! I used to do that too. You gotta have a day off every once in awhile right? I used to fake sick and watch Price is Right and my mom would walk in to me standing on the couch clapping if someone won something so I'd jump under the blanket as soon as she'd walk in.

I loved her comment! She is so cute!
