Eat, Read, and Be Mommy

Here’s today’s actual post, as opposed to yesterday’s post that happened today (because vomit)!

Since my 7-year-old is home sick today, I finished reading Megabat is a Fraidybat aloud to her during the first half of the morning (after which I went back to bed, because not so much with the sleep during the night). My girlie said she liked it the same as the first two “Megabat” books, rather than better or not as much; I was mostly amused at the coincidence of my finishing two “kid at summer camp gets over his/her fears” books in a row. (Fraidybat is actually a cute twist on that theme, given that as Daniel overcomes his fears, Megabat’s start to develop.) This series is geared towards a slightly younger audience than I prefer for my personal reading, and in my opinion the illustrations are fun but not fabulous, but my daughter is actively asking for me to read more to her whenever she thinks we’ll have time, so I’m going to recommend “Megabat” for early elementary schoolers.

In other news, my girlie has kept down 3 saltines, a bite of another cracker that she decided she didn’t like, and probably 3/4 of a banana. (Oh, and some water.) This is progress, but slow progress. In the meantime, the plastic back of her mattress cover was in shreds when I took it off last night, so a trip to Walmart once I get my son from school and my 12-year-old is home to supervise the sicky is in order…
