Party Pooper

Since the day he was born (and actually even before then) Camden has let us know that he will do things his own way in his own time. Knowing this, I shouldn't be surprised that this came through on the weekend of his birthday party. We did all the inviting, organizing, and planning. Both sets of grandparents came into town. And then Camden got sick. For the first time in his life. He was running over 103 fever even on constant meds.

This picture was taken only moments before he threw up all over himself, me, the couch and the floor. He was NOT happy about the bath that followed.

Isn't that just the saddest picture you have ever seen? It broke my heart to see him so uncomfortable.

We held out hope that he would be good enough to carry on with his party, but we just couldn't make it happen. We knew he would not enjoy himself and we didn't want to infect 50+ people that were planning to attend. Luckily, the only thing we really needed to do was let everyone know the party was going to be rescheduled. We had not bought any of the perishable food yet and the cupcakes were still in the freezer. I was bummed that Mimi and Amiya were going to miss out on the party, but it was also nice to have some down time to spend with them.
