A Non-Day
2009-08-01Uncategorized Standard
Bjarki didn’t eat very much yesterday, and today we found out why: he came down with a stomach bug. Yup, the little guy couldn’t keep anything down except Coke Cola until around 7pm today (not even the four pieces of Cheerios we gave him around 5pm), so Finnur and I just stayed at home-base, taking shifts entertaining him.
It was a little sad, especially given that the weather was gorgeous (yes, still, but they’re forecasting rain for tomorrow, phew!) and we had both lunch and dinner visits planned. But stomach bugs have a tendency to put an abrupt halt to everything, so both visits were rescheduled for a later day.
Meanwhile, Independent Anna apparently had a fabulous day at the summer house, playing with some 7 cousins. It seems like yesterday was just as great, since she declared shortly after waking up this morning that she’d like to spend another night (the initial deal was for one night only). Yes, this is what happens in Iceland… the children are surrounded with older cousins, and then, who needs parents?! This is one luxury that CA most certainly does not offer…
